I just finished an application called MacBooz that handles Zoo files
(from the Amiga/DOS/Unix/VMS worlds).  This application is built around
a basic object-oriented framework that allows me to drop in other
archive file formats without having to recode the entire application.

So, right now I am working on adding formats to it.  I have completed
the Zoo work (except for adding, which I don't plan on adding for a while).
I have the specifications for the following formats:

    Zip
    Stuffit
    Packit

I hope to add these to the program as well.  (If anyone knows of any other
formats that would be useful, or has any information on these formats
that may be useful, please send me mail.)  Due to time limitations (I
am finishing my last semester in college) I will not be able to complete
this until sometime this summer (assuming no major problems develop).

Also, pointers to currently existing source would be appreciated.
