Compressing Archiver ZOO now on VAX

(1 / 1)


A new utility called ZOO is now in utl$exe.

It creates a very tightly compressed archive of files.
 e.g.
$ zoo a t.zoo *.*  - this will save all the files in the current directory
		     in the archive called t.zoo.

It remembers the directories the fils were in and can be used to save
directory trees.

It produces more tightly compressed data than ARC.
It is also available in source form, and executables for amiga, IBMPC, XENIX.
(See me for source).

The full documentation is in DOK:ZOO.DOC

To use it do

$ ZOO:== $utl$exe:ZOO.EXE

in your login.com file.

$ zoo h

prints out a help message.

	Save disk space, archive all your seldom used files into a
	zoo archive!!

	Jim.
