I also follow comp.graphics. My understanding from the discussions there of the problems with the .ZOO file were NOT a problem with zoo but that the multipart uuencoded posting was being put together incorrectly. -- Bill Svirsky, Citicorp+TTI, 3100 Ocean Park Blvd., Santa Monica, CA 90405 Work phone: 213-450-9111 x2597 svirsky@ttidca.tti.com | ...!{csun,psivax,rdlvax,retix}!ttidca!svirsky
