Last night, for the first time, I got a Fish disk from the net instead
of paying $3-$3.50 for each disk at my local dealer.  (Cost me a couple
of hours of a local phone call @1200 baud, but what th' 'ell).

Anyway, I was wondering about extracting subdirectories using zoo.  Do
I need to have the directory tree already created, ready for zoo to
stick the files in the tree?  It seems as though I do.  For example, I
extracted the Aquarium directory from Aquarium.zoo from #301.  There is
a DATA subdirectory under the Aquarium directory.  The extraction left
the files in Aquarium that should have gone into Aquarium/data.  When I
"pre-created" the directory tree (otherwise empty), the extraction went
without a hitch.

Any suggestions?  Please reply by e-mail unless you think others would
be interested.  (I doubt it.  Everybody probably knows how but me.  :-)

The zoo I'm using is whichever the last zoo on the Fish disks before
disk 301.  (I forgot to check the version number.)
