Thanks to all who responded to my ZOO.TTP - Help posting.
Problem was me. (.Z vs .zoo files)

Next question: When i uncompress .Z files (compress -d d:\file from Gulam),
everything appears to complete without error.  However, when I try to run the
resulting program (after renaming with a .prg extender) I get a "TOS error
#35" which means "No handles left".  Even after a reboot the results are the
same.  steve@thelake.mn.org thought it was a TOS 1.0 problem.  I don't want to
get the lastest TOS ($) just to see if it is the cause.  Has anybody else
had this problem and what did you do to get around it? Is the new TOS ROM
worth the cost (and how much)?

Last question: How do you combine multipart, binary .Z files to decompress
them.  I've tried "cat f1 f2 >>f3" from gulam but f3 always gets smaller than
the starting files.  Word perfect and First word also don't like binary...

Note: I have binary ftp'd these files from atari.archive.umich.edu several
times with the same results each time.  

Thanks for any help
