I don't know how widely ZOO is used in Atari ST world but I
think that we should consider to change our "manners" in such
a way that comp.binaries.atari.st could use ONLY ZOO as the
one and only archiving pgm instead of ARC.

This probably wakes up a great polemic but I think this what
I'm suggesting is the only resonable thing to do. Because
comp.binaries.ibm.pc had already done this and many sites
already have ZOO in UNIX or VMS machines via which these 
binaries come. And then there are people (like me) who also
must use PC/XT/AT to transmit these binaries to Atari where
they belong.

So don't overlook this suggestion. I know that there are many
of you who don't see any reason why we should do this.

We here in Vaasa, Finland (chyde.uwasa.fi) have ZOO sources
available fot anonymous ftp and Oulu, Finland have ZOO binaries
for Atari ST. So this change is possible.
