A nice addition to zoo would be the ability to archive a large amount
of data to more than one floppy.  Zoo should tell us how many disks of
the appropriate media types are needed, and prompt us for the floppies
as needed.  Having Zoo do the floppy formatting would be nice also.

Each individual floppy could have one archive, perhaps with a note in it
somewhere sayin 'disk 1 of 3' or something.  Or a simple zoo extract 
(zoo x// arcfile.zoo) on each floppy could suffice, if the directory
names were saved when the archive was created.

I know this is a big thing to implement, but it would make Zoo usefull
for those of us interested in backing up our harddisks to floppy disks.
