ST> I have a question on how to compress files with lharc and zoo.
ST> How would I pack all files in a dir into a lzh or zoo file.
ST> I know that you use lharc a or zoo a but what do I do from their?

Zoo has stumped me also.  This is what I've done.  Suppose that you have
dir 'A' that contains dirs 'B' & 'C'.
To archive all subdirs of 'A': zoo aP file a/* a/b/* a/c/*
To unarch a zoo file in it's original dir paths: zoo x// file
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would suggest LHARC as it does the job and archives smaller than zoo.
To archive dir 'A' and all subdirs: LHARC -r -x -a a FileName DIR1/*
      -r = Do all subdirs & files.
      -x = Use extended filenames.
      -a = Use file attributes of original files.
       a = Add to archive.
FileName = Name of archive file.
  DIR1/* = Archive everything in 'DIR1' and its subdirs.

To add another dir to the same archive file, just issue the command again
with a differnet dir or specify both dirs 'DIR1/* DIR2/*'.

To unarch to original use: LHARC -x x filename
