I think that it is a fact that a normal PC user do not use Zoo. It is the
unix/usenet community that has chosen zoo, not the PC community!

The BBS:s in Sweden use LHARC, PKZIP or PKPAK. I do not think that they
ever have heard of Zoo!

I think that it is easy to understand why the unix community did chose Zoo
for the PC archives and it is also easy to understand why the PC community
chose lharc or zip.

I have heard a rumor that ZIP version 1.00 Beta pack as good as LHARC but
does it faster than LHARC! Maybe the Americans can beat the Japanese!
