I'm sure that FTP users all have ZOO, but I have not been able to get it
from any of the archive sites in source form for either of the Unix
systems I use.

Despite many promises to send it my way, it has yet to show up, and I
have no idea how easy the installation will be.

I do have binaries for my Atari ST, but the idea of downloading to get
files ZOO'd and unZOO'd is ridiculous.  Until ZOO is avialable to those
without FTP access, many of us will continue to use ARC.
