On the Unix end to get a dir and all of its sub-dirs and files do the following: zoo a zoofile * */* */*/* */*/*/* etc.. * = all files in current directory (including actual dirs) */* = all files in dirs 1 level below this one */*/* = all files in dirs 2 levels below this one etc.. The same can be done on the amiga, just use a shell that supports '*'. Most seem to work with this incantation. On the amiga end to extract the whole thing just give the following command: zoo x// zoofile The same command on the Unix end will work as well. ________________________________/Luminous beings we are, not this crude matter Trevor Paquette ICBM:51'03"N/114'05"W|'She flies like darkness in the night, {ubc-cs,utai,alberta}!calgary!paquette| no mortal is safe within her sight.
