Hello, I am good friends with the gentleman who ported Zoo to the Amiga
(and yes I even know Rahul Dhesi, he got me my UNIX account here at BSU
afore he left for another job...) and *we* finally got our acts together
(read that, I paused in my studies long enough [I graduate sat. 5/5/90!!]
and he stopped working on ______ <- fill in the blank, he works on a TON
of stuff, aside from being a developer he is a Full Time employee of a
local Cable TV commercial type seller [Rutter Communications]) and well,
we sent off Zoo *2.01* to Tad a while back (bout 2 weeks I would say)
and it should be showing up in Comp.Binaries.Amiga whenever Tad gets
to it (right Tad?) we also sent a PAK version (as that week several
pleas for a non-zoo'ed version of Zoo were asked (begged) for... but
that 2 part 'post' never was acknowleged (did it make it to you Tad?)
yes, I know I should write Tad, but I am STILL just a hair busy..  just
wanted to get this out to the net!

Zoo 2.01 is coming, some features: Ares'able (can you say fast access?)
oh well, here is the 'Changes' file and you can see what else is
'in there'


                                CHANGES

Summary of Changes from Zoo version 2.00 to version 2.01.

   - A bug was fixed that had caused the first generation of a file to
     sometimes unexpectedly show up in archive listings.

   - A bug was fixed that had sometimes made it impossible to
     selectively extract a file by specifying its name, even though all
     files could be extracted from the archive by not specifying any
     filenames.  This occurred when a file had been archived on a
     longer-filename system (e.g. AmigaDOS) and extraction was attempted
     on a shorter-filename system (e.g. MS-DOS).

   - A bug was fixed that had caused an update of an archive to not
     always add all newer files.

   - A bug in the date routine was fixed that caused extracted files' and zoo
     archives' datestamps to be off by one day in the Amiga version.

   - An interaction between the Manx scdir() function and the FFS was
     corrected.

   - AmigaDOS file attributes defined as of AmigaDOS 1.3 are now saved and
     restored.

   - The Amiga version is compatable with the Arp resident command (ares) and
     uses less memory under shells that support the Arp resident header.


Well, be looking for Zoo 2.01 RSN at a site near YOU!

p.s. I have been using 2.01, and am VERY pleased with it...  now if we
     can only get 3.00 out RSN too....  ;-)
