The ZOO from the EMBL File Server and UH Gene-Server work fine under VMS 5.X. It is a direct port from the Unix program; you do not know how to set up "foreign" commands in DCL, you are not going to be able to run the program. I just pulled the copy off the UH server, uudecoded it, and typed "run zoo" and got: run zoo Usage: zoo {acDelLPTuUvx}[acdEfInMNoOpPquz1:/.] archive file ("zoo h" for help) Novice usage: zoo -cmd archive[.zoo] file... where -cmd is one of these: -add -extract -move -test -print -delete -list -update -freshen -comment So all appears to be well. Set it up as a foreign command, though, to unZOO other files. dan -- dr. dan davison/dept. of biochemical and biophysical sciences/univ. of Houston/4800 Calhoun/Houston,TX 77054-5500/davison@uh.edu/DAVISON@UHOU "Without the voice of reason, every faith is its own curse" -- Sting Disclaimer: As always, I speak only for myself, and, usually, only to myself.
