Chris,

 My major problem is that I only have one meg right now and two 880k drives
.  I cant even upload them to my amiga.  Can someone crunch this file a little
more ?  Or can some one just compress it to only a couple of things that I wouldneed to run it.  I only want it to change Iff's or other pic. formatts to gif
file.  ???

I think that you can ftp the separate executables (zoo-ed, together with
documentation) from pc.usl.edu, directory /pub/amiga/pbmplus.
I'm not completely sure, and I can't check it right now bacause of some
network problems.
