I would like to put my voice behind using Zoo over ARC.  I have been
using Zoo/SEZ/Fiz on my Compaq at work and on the Unix system at
school.  (It compiled w/o a hitch on our Sun 3 with SunOS 3.2).  I
also use Zoo on my ST to transfer files to/from the Sun and so far,
I have not seen any problems.  

I have been waiting to see a Zoo shell appear on the net for the ST,
because I really like using the ARCshell.  I'm going to check into
getting Sez for my ST, since I would find it very useful.  (BTW: SEZ
is the program for producing Self-Extraction Zoo files and Fiz fixes
corrupted ZOO archives as best as possible -- at least it lets you get
past a corrupted entry).

The biggest plus with Zoo is its preservation of directory structure
and it's fast and just as efficient on storage (if not marginally 
better) than ARC.

One point to note.  Many of the PC BBSes seem to be using Phil Katz
ZIP and UNZIP.  Are those making their way to the ST as well?

cheers,
