ZOO, ARC, and LHARC all write to whatever the current directory is. All
you have to do is CD to the disk you want to write to. You can put the
archiving program in RAM: or your C directory or wherever, and the archive
wherever as well. For example, for an archive in RAM: and the archiving
program in C:, to decrunch the archive to df1:, do this:
1> CD df1:
1> ZOO x RAM:filename.zoo

and you're set. Just remember that all the archiving programs always
write to the current directory as a default. If you want to write to another
directory or device, make the line read

1> ZOO X RAM:filename DXX:*
