Well, what can I say?  Rahul Dhesi post zoo, and it seems like some nice
software, but...  Just great, now I have another archiver to worry about
besides tar and cpio.  I use a VAX running VMS at work, and UNIX at home,
so

** FLAME ON **

What good does the binaries to zoo give me?
Next time, maybe a vote for sources would be in order.
Since, this looks like it would be useful to me!  Now I am going to
have to ask you for the sources since I will want to be using it at work.

** FLAME OFF **

Question, how does zoo compress so fast using the Lempel-Ziv compression
algorithm?  I built compress (16 bits), and I am unable to compress anything
on my .5meg system.  But zoo seems to fly!  How?  Should I rebuild compress
with a smaller memory config?  Will this speed it up significantly?  Somebody
know?

Oh well, zoo looks good, and I hope this works for my home-work transfer
needs!

I don't know about others, but I am connected to the unix-pc net through
uunet.  UUNET has some of comp.unix.sources online, so I will ask Rick
Adams if he knows anything about your zoo program.  Maybe you could send
it to him rick@seismo (If you haven't already).
