Hmm..NEW archivers with incompatible formats?  Where have you been?  Seems to
me that most every other computer made can ZIP and UnZIP a ZIP file.  I have a
ZIP utility for my Amiga, my Apple //, my IBM and I have seen them for the
Atari ST's and I'm sure they are in the works for *NIX systems.  So where is
that incompatibility you're talking about?  If you're talking incompatible
with Zoo, they you're right..but since when was ZOO ever compatible with
anything other than the AMIGA and Unix OS's?  I'm not that familiar with what
machines Zoo works on but I've only seen it on the Amiga.
