I agree 100%!  This would make it many times easier to ZOO an entire disk!

Make sure it recreates the old directory structure in the current directory
though.  If I'm cd'ed to DH0:Downloads/NewProg, I want all subdirectories to
be created there.

One other thing: locally, some folks have been saying that large HAM/LACE
pictures actually increase when Zoo'ed by 

zoo aP ram:pica.zoo df0:pica

See if the compression algorythms are at fault!  Could be a user error, though,
as I haven't tried it.
