About public domainness -- Rahul has stated that the "zoo" file format
is public domain.  The "looz" MSDOS-executable is public domain; I don't
believe he has released the source code.

He has released source code for "booz" into public domain.  "Booz" is a
`basic' extractor of zoo files, enough to get stuff out of zoo archives.
I know it compiles and works under TurboC and under Ultrix v2.?; I
haven't personally tried it anywhere else.

Only "zoo" the full-blown archive-manipulating program is subject to
restrictions, which amount to limits on the charges for redistribution.

How about it, programming hotshots?  Write a program of your own that
uses the ZOO format!  It's your chance to be creative!
