Hi !
I have a problem with ZOO that I can't seem to be able to over come with
all the reading I have come ocross on the subject.
When I down load a zoo file on an empty disk and it is a fairly large one
and I do an extract on it. I ahve the problem where it over fills the
disk and I don't get the whole of the files.
QUESTION ? Is there away to send the output of a ZOO extract comand
to another disk?
Any help with this would be most greatfully recieved.
Thanks John Carson--

I do not think it is possible to change the destination drive, but it should be possible to extract on a drive different from the one the compressed file is on. What you should, and let us assume that you have a two drive system, is put the zoo file in A:, a blank diskette in B: and then give the command zoo e a:file.zoo <ENTER> from B: (Make sure to have zoo in the path). Should work, I hope .... Ale. -- __________________________________________ Ale de Boer dboer@let.rug.nl

If you put it in the explore mode (click on the arrow and it turns orange) and choose unarc it will dezoo to the directory in the other window. ___ __ |\ |\ | / \ SirOtto -- Gallant Knight of a rather large, squarish | \ | \ | / table someplace in the West Panhandle of Florida. | \ | \ |--< | \| \|___\____/ Michael E.

All you have to do is CD to the disk you want to write to. You can put the archiving program in RAM: or your C directory or wherever, and the archive wherever as well. For example, for an archive in RAM: and the archiving program in C:, to decrunch the archive to df1:, do this: 1> CD df1: 1> ZOO x RAM:filename.zoo and you're set. Just remember that all the archiving programs always write to the current directory as a default. If you want to write to another directory or device, make the line read 1> ZOO X RAM:filename DXX:* --Rick Wrigley fhwri@conncoll.bitnet ~~~---second-hand smoke is THEFT---~~~

You're right about zoo, arc, etc. extracting to whatever your current directory is, though. -- * From the disk of: | jms@vanth.uucp | "Speeding through the Jim Shaffer, Jr. | amix.commodore.com!vanth!jms | universe, Thinking is 37 Brook Street | uunet!cbmvax!amix!vanth!jms | the best way to travel."

To unZOO to another drive/partition/directory/whathaveyou just CD there and, well, an example... 1.RAM DISK:> cd dh0: 1.HARD DISK:> zoo x ram:file The contents of RAM:file will unarc to the HD...it could also be... 1.HARD DISK:telecomm/downloads> cd df0:utilities 1.DISK #1:utilities> zoo x dh0:utilities/file I hope this helps... /| _ |\ --- My opinions are better than your opinions! --- /_||\/| | / _|_\ --- David Langhorst.....
