Just a note for you; if you makedir a new directory for the files to go in,
and cd to that directory before unZOOing the directory, then you have solved
the above problem without screwing up the rest of the people who might
already have a directory of the name which would have been embedded in the
ZOO file.

And, by the way, I'd like to second the original message poster's motion, by
offering to be a pre-tester, or whatever the term he gave.  If Bob (or
someone else) decides to implement the idea, they can contact me for more
information, etc.
