You should also get the README file in the Gnu directories. As explained there,
the files 1-13 are not independent zoo archives, but parts of a single
archive. It's split to make it easier to transfer (so if your transfer dies,
you don't need to grab the whole multi-megabyte file again, you just need to
get the specific parts that got messed up.) To extract the files, you need
to concatenate all the parts together, and run zoo on the combination.
