   People who argue this issue consistently forget two issues that shouldn't
be missed. Zoo is the only archiver which can deal with naming oddities
like VMS version numbers and files that take advantage of BSD's large name
limit. Zoo also deals with directory trees nicely and can take lists of file
names to be archived.
   
   It might not be a concern to you, but rest assured, some people find these
features a must.
