Where am I?  Is this a PC group or what?  
Ok, subdirectories ARE important.  Speed is important.  But number one,
that which is used by the majority should indicate the modus operandi with
regard to archive method.  Those who like zoo enough could try to effect a
change.  Since this is a binaries group, post the binary to ZOO.  I have
been on the net for more than a year and I have only seen sources for
for ZOO and they were in the unix sources group.  I could be easily
convinced to use zoo if it started appearing on every BBS in the country
and uploads were packed in zoo format.  But at the present, that is not
true, I have yet to see zoo uploads on any BBS I call, one of which is a
large one in Silicon Valley.
