If this is the one posted to comp.sources.misc last August (volume 8), it doesn't seem to work too well on a Sun or Pyramid. It dumps core on both of them on a recently posted ZIP file to the net. If someone could convince me that they work as well as 'zoo' (ran immediately on both Sun and Pyramid), I may change, but until then the ease of looking at archives on Unix and DOS, means that I'll use zoo.
