Thanks for the Unix tip!

On the Amiga I use a program called Fnams (that's NOT a typo). It was
written specifically to feed a directory structure to Zoo. Typical use is:

fnams >ram:tempfile df0:
zoo <ram:tempfile aI archivename

The case is important, capital "I" meaning read stdin. Of course pipes
could be used instead. There is also a simple script file included with
Fnams called ZooAll that does it in on step. With ZooAll in my S:
directory and the S protection bit set, I just:

cd df0:
zooall dh1:archivename

It would be nicer if Zoo did recursive directories itself, but this does
work well. And of course to extract the files and create the directories:

zoo x// archivename

Fnams is on one of the Fish disks. I'm not near my Amiga, so I can't be
more specific.
