Not to too much further heat up the ARC/ZOO debate, but...


There are a couple of things I sure wish ARC did that it dosen't do, and
I was wondering if ZOO addresses these problems:

1. Truncation of file names.  (unix to Amiga?  come on, they both have 14+
   character names!)

2. Work with subdirectories.  I should be able to say: 

   arc -r -a arcfilename directoryname  

   and have it go through all subdirectories and get all the files, and
   on the uncompress, do a mkdir to create the directories if they don't
   already exist.
