This depends on the TOS version. With TOS 1.0 I couldn't extract a file from a ZOO archive with the x option when I started ZOO.TTP from the desktop. TOS translated everything to uppercase and the X option is illegal with ZOO. I had to use the -extract option. After I replaced TOS 1.0 with TOS 1.4 I can use the x option. The X option still generates an error message. So TOS 1.4 is case sensitive, it only translates FILENAMES to uppercase.
