I've used commands like zoo l , zoo e// and zoo aM *.* without any problems. As to memory, I haven't tried everything yet but the applications I used never ran out of memory on my Mega 2 with a 800 K Ram Disk and about 1.1 M free Ram. Maybe you could give an example of an application that runs out of memory and tell us how much free ram ther was left before you started zoo. Oh, and while I'm at it, the ST zoo unpacks Unix zoo archives without any problems.
