- This weekend I ported the zoo archiver to Linux and have just uploaded
- it to banjo and tsx-11. I uploaded a static linked zoo binary
- (zoobin.tar.Z) and the sources (zoosrc.zoo). I don't intend to upload
- zoo files as a practice, but since this was zoo source and the zoo file
- was about 1/3 smaller than the tar.Z, and I had to bring it to work on a
- floppy...
-
- I also compiled the latest zip and unzip from info-zip, and have
- reported one odd happening to the group. I am NOT taking over the linux
- port of zip, I just wanted to try it, since new zip is faster than zoo,
- and maybe a percent or two smaller in some cases.

- It never ceases to amaze me that otherwise rational people, able to
- understand calculus, compound interest, and the income tax form, can
- continue to believe that poker is a game of chance.
