I don't think anyone has mentioned the obvious: PKCNVZOO, which is included
with the PKZIP package.  It converts zoo's to zip's, and even retains the
non-msdos filenames, and other stuff, when it does the conversion (although
I don't see why that would be any advantage for cpib postings).

I never use ZOO, I always change the files from cpib to zip's first, then
unpack them with PKZIP.
