[comp.sys.amiga.programmer] .pak & AmigaDOS 2.0

   I've just recently discovered the wonderful world of telecom.  All that
software, FREE.  (Well, sort of.)  The trouble is this, all of it is compressed
with such utils as lharc, zoo, zip, etc.  That wouldn't be a big deal, since
most of these are in the public domain, and availible several places.  The
problem is pulling myself up by my bootstraps.  The chain seems to start with
Zoo.  I tried downloading it, since it was in a '.pak' file.  (Self-disolving
archive, right?)  It guru'ed every time.  This is from four different sources,
with the same results.
  Has anyone else with an A3000, or 2.0 run into this problem?  I've since tried
other '.pak' files with the same results.
  (By the way, I got Zoo from a friend, so I no longer need it, but I want to
know why this happened.)
