I read that part, and unpacked the files with no problems... at least, as far as unpacking was concerned. I'd respectfully ask, though, that you follow this packaging formula sparingly, if at all. You see, after I had unpacked all those little files into individual directories, I then had to rename all the info files before I could repack the whole assortment into a ZIPfile. A collection such as this is much easier to handle if you needn't take embedded pathnames into account. BTW, SHEZ was not able to see the path information in your Zoofile, Bill... don't know why. -- Roy M.
