If you have a valid zoo200.exe, then typing zoo200 at the prompt should
cause zoo200 to decompose itself into severla files, one of which
documents the use of zoo.  In other words, zoo200.exe is a
self-extracting zoo archive.  Since doing what I suggested hangs your
system, it seems that your copy of zoo200.exe is not valid.
