I have zoo v1.5 running under Ultrix (roughly BSD4.2?).  Per the
advertised virtue of zoo, it will read any version of zoo archive
(although it may lack some flexiblity of extraction options).  For
those who are unfamiliar with zoo, it supports full Unix-like filenames
and paths.  In terms of performance an features, I see it as a strict,
and large, superset of the ARC-like programs.

Version 2.01 is available at simtel20, by anonymous ftp (and possibly
elsewhere; I'll get a copy when I get some free time).  I you can't do
ftp, I'm willing to send you a copy of the source, whichever version I
have at that point.
