You should try the so-called "expert" commands of zoo.  You'd see that, in
fact, every "info" goes to a different directory, with the same name as the
utility it describes.

It looks as if the "info" files were added by the moderator, who didn't want
to post every utility (rather "uslessity" :-) as a different issue.

..> zoo l ozshare1.zoo
     [ list of files, with path information ]
..> zoo x// ozshare1.zoo
     [ extract files, creating sub-directories if needed ]

et voila !

Besides, this package wasted enough of my time (and that of several others,
I believe), for you to spend more time with it.  You see, even if one or the
other utility would be of interest to you, you'll probably dissagree with
it's price...
