FEATURE n. 1. A surprising property of a program. Occasionally docu-
mented. To call a property a feature sometimes means the author of
the program did not consider the particular case, and the program
makes an unexpected, although not strictly speaking an incorrect
response. See BUG. "That's not a bug, that's a feature!" A bug
can be changed to a feature by documenting it. 2. A well-known and
beloved property; a facility. Sometimes features are planned, but
are called crocks by others.
-- Hacker's Dictionary from ARPAnet
To the user: If you discover any features in Zoo, please add a
description and your name and the date to this file before passing it on.

1.
If many files (50 or more) are being added to an archive, Zoo may
run out of memory. This happens earlier if one or more of the
filespecs supplied end with a slash or backslash ("/" or "\"). To
continue adding more files to the same archive, give Zoo the same list
of files to add but use the "-update" or "au" command. Zoo will continue
adding files to the archive but will not add again any files that have
already been added. [Rahul Dhesi 1986/08/20]
2.
If the disk gets full while a comment is being added, Zoo may fail to
detect this but the comment will not appear in the archive. The archive
is not harmed. Note that a disk full error due to addition of a file to
an archive is always detected. [Rahul Dhesi 1986/08/24]
