Well, Mike, I took a look at the list of "info" files and spent about five
minutes cursing the person who zoo'd 'em up for an incompetent fool. Then,
I called up _nu_ from the Norton Utilities, and changed the info files to
infa, infb, infc,... by simply searching for the string "info". Worked fine,
and once unzoo'd, I changed the names to filename.inf, where filename is the
name of the associated executable. Then I zip'd 'em all up (more compact than
a .zoo archive) together.

Having looked them over, my advice is to deepsix the whole thing. I didn't see
a single utility of which I haven't a better version. Many of them are part
of the internal DOS verbs under 4dos, or are easily set up as an aliased var-
iant of same.

We won't even comment on those ridiculous shareware "charges". Cheeeze!
