In article <11300@bloom-beacon.MIT.EDU>, cthulhu@athena (Jim Reich) writes
a neat solution for using AmigaTeX without a hard disk which I intend to
use.  He then says:

You use the I (capital eye) switch to Zoo, which means to read the
list of files to back up from standard input.  Then, to your shell,
you say:

find "" -name * -print | zoo aI allfiles

or, if you don't have a pipe shell handy:

1> run find >pipe:list "" -name * -print
[CLI 2]
1> zoo <pipe:list aI allfiles

Works fine.  You need find of course;  it might be possible to do
it with List lformat=%s%s, but I dunno.
