The extension .zoo in multicol.zoo means that this file is a compressed
archive, possibly containig multiple files. When you do 
	image
	hash
	cd TEX/latexstyle
on the archive server sol.cs.ruu.nl, you can
	get multicol.zoo
and you will receive the packed file (saves transfer time, too!).
You should then un-zoo it, by running
	zoo -extract multicol.zoo
which will result in the following files being created:

If you don't have zoo, you're in trouble. However, there are PD
implementations for most micros (PC, Atari, Amiga, Mac), and also on
sol.cs.ruu.nl there is a file zoo-2.01.tar.Z in the directory UNIX.
It is worth having, because someday you'll want to extract more zoo-archives.

Hope this helps,
