Just a note to (hopefully) avoid some confusion ... this is the *real* v2.01
of Zoo.  There was an "official" patch to v2.00 that jbwaters put out, that
someone applied and posted to CompuServe as v2.01, which it isn't (but *it*
has made the rounds to BBS's as such).  I had suggested to jbwaters that he
call the new version v2.02, but he said that Rahul probably wouldn't buy that.

Yes ... very nice (I have been beta-testing v2.01 since June of last year, and
have had NO problems with it).  There is one "difficulty" in the UNIX(R) v2.01
that shows up though ... Rahul doesn't map the UNIX w-bit to also set the d-bit
in Zoo, so things Zoo'd on a UNIX box unZoo with the d-bit off on the Amy.  I
was told this would get fixed in the v2.02 UNIX version of Zoo, but that has
yet to be released.  No big deal if you have a decent shell (like SKsh) on Amy,
as you can just do a "chmod +d *".  I was going to hack this in our local copy
of UNIX Zoo, but the code is, uh, "rather interesting" in there :-)

So ... what's slated for v3.00, anyway ...?
