     I noticed the walkerI demo is now on ab20.  It has the extension .ZOM
What archiver do I need to extract these files?

    You'll need a program called 'zoom'.  It is a disk 
compressor/decompressor. It is available
on ab20 under the filename /amiga/utils/archivers/zoom41.lzh .

    I have a question, though.  When I finished compressing the Walker_I
demo, the zoom program GURU'ed my amiga (at the moment I tried to
quit it).   Anyone has experienced this problem?

  I once wrote a 12 page paper, without saving it ONCE until I was finished.
When I went to save, it GURU'd. I ran VirusX and found the Byte Bandit virus.
I think this is the one where you type the 5 keys ALT, A, SPACEBAR, A, ALT
to gain control again.

Data point: I used ZOOM. Once. To de-compress the Lemmings demo. It
uncompressed the demo nicely and, once it was done, crashed violently
(GURU). I would advise, seeing all the documented trouble with this
beast, that in future archivists stay away from the thing. Please?
There's plenty of good archivers out there; totally at random I'd
suggest DiskMasher, for example. Many others exist.
