- Here is version 1.51 of the zoo archiver in C source form.
-
- The zoo archiver provides most of the functionality of the utilities
- "tar" and "cpio" with some restrictions (file protections and
- multiple links are not currently preserved and archives cannot be
- read from standard input or sent to standard ouput); in addition, it
- supports storage of files in compressed form. Long filenames of up
- to 255 characters can be handled.
-
- All implementations create compatible archives. Thus it is possible
- to move files, and file hierarchies, between dissimilar systems.
-
- This package includes files as listed below.
-
- The following are general information files:
-

- ported by J. Brian Waters

- - [MS-DOS] zoo 1.50 is distributed as an executable file and
- documentation.
-
- - [MS-DOS] Sez 2.20 is the current version of Sez, the self-
- extracting zoo utility, which can convert any zoo archive into
- an executable file that will extract itself when executed
-
- - [MS-DOS] Atoz 1.11 is a program that will help do automated
- conversion of archives, libraries, and squeezed files from any
- other format into zoo format
-
- - [MS-DOS] Looz 2.00 is a program that will list, extract,
- and test zoo archives, and also extract archived programs
- directly into memory for immediate execution.
-
- - [VAX/VMS] Vooz 1.00 permits zoo archives to be extracted under
- VAX/VMS
-
- - [Generic] Booz 1.01 is a small, fast zoo extractor that needs

- full zoo code
