Maczoo

I've seen a couple of reports that the MacBooz .zoo file extractor doesn't always produce good files. Here's an alternative, that also has some limitations but may work better (It's 50K bytes larger, so it should do more, yes?). I haven't had an occasion to use either program, so I can't say whether either works or not. SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR MacZOO 2.1 1/7/92 The interface to MacZOO is a command line interface -- sorry, but we wanted to modify a minimum amount of the code written by ZOO's creator, Rahul Dhesi. After double clicking on the MacZOO icon, type in the command line arguments as described in ZOO.MAN. For example, if on a UNIX or MS-DOS command line you would type "zoo a temp *.c" (which would add all files with names ending in ".c" to a ZOO archive called "temp.zoo"), you would enter "a temp *.c" in the MacZOO startup window. Also, MacZOO will not archive and compress anything but text files. Executable files on the Mac, for example, are not single files like they are on most other systems, and so ZOO would have to be extensively modified to handle them. Thus, MacZOO is intended as a program to handle archives of text files which will be transferred among various machines. Since ZOO runs on UNIX machines, OS/2 machines, NeXTs, Amigas, Ataris, and MS-DOS machines, Macs can now handle ZOO files created by these machines and vice versa. Even Apple II's and CP/M machines have unZOO programs.
