I never was able to unpack zoom. Whereever I downloaded it from <either BBS's
or from ab20> I would have a zoom.exe file that is supposed to unpack but 
never did. Zoom would have to do alot of catching up before I even considered
abandoning dms <not that I dms disks but I unDMS them and I hesitate to d/l
disks that arent dms'ed.>
