Nothing to it.  The .zuu files are zoo file which have been uuencoded for
transmission as ASCII text (eg. mail, USENET, etc.).

To decode and use these, first use 'uudecode' to change the ASCII .zuu file
into a binary.  The binary should be between 30 and 45% smaller.  Then use
zoo to extract files from the zoo archive binary.

I suppose if you don't have uuencode/uudecode, then I could mail it to
you, but it would be in uuencoded form so that it could be mailed and
therefore would be of minimal use.  B{)  The programs are available PD
at a great number of locations; your friends probably have copies if
you don't.
