But I do have a few remarks. I was wondering why Zoo ignores directories passed on the command line. I find it irritating and error-prone that Zoo ignores them *SILENTLY*. Has anyone modified Zoo to recurse directories like tar(1)? Is there a special reason why Zoo doesn't extract files in the hierarchy they came from, but only in the current directory (unless I use x//)? Archiving directories and restoring into directories seems a suitable default action to me.
