	Bzzzzzzzzt!  Wrong, but thanks for playing!  The ZIP archive format
is proprietary, copyright, and all that good stuff.  Zoo, on the other hand,
is available and (I think) public domain.  GSHK un-ZOO's quite well, but
will not work on a ZIP file.  Sorry.  And I've tried this out for
verification.  At work I use a clone, so I ZIP my source files, FTP them
to a UNIX box with a modem, then call in at home using my trusty IIgs and
try unzipping them with GSHK.   Doesn't work.  When I use the ZOO archiver,
works fine.  Anybody else tried this out?
