	I have found that rz/sz doesn't recognize a .zoo file as a binary. I
have to force the binary mode with the -[bB] switch to either rz or sz. Then
all goes fine.

	ZOO does make smaller archives, but I must agree that we must make
certian that the distribution of the ZOO utilities is such that noone will be
without it. Let's stick with ARC for now....

On another tack :

The netlib archives here at lakesys apparently will not be up again. Thanks
to all who contributed and used netlib@lakesys. It was a pleasure being of
service to the net ST community.
