I obviously missed the boat here.

If ZOO is pc based, such that all decoding can be done
locally (& not on the host system) I'm all for it.
*BUT* If this is a unix based package, be aware that I
and many like me on BITNET are on IBM S/360-90 hosts running VM/CMS
and do not have ZOO code, nor the ability to run it if
it were mailed to us.

Personally, I lean more toward the status quo which I know
will let me decode postings. (note: I must go through at least
two extra steps to extract postings as it is because of IBM's
EBCDIC fetish!!
