- Yes, but it is not in the FILE SYSTEM, it is part of the graphical shell.
-
- If you are at a CMD prompt, or running application XYZ, you want transparent
- access to the data in these .ZOO files.
-
- In the WPS, I have to double click on the .ZOO file myself. I can't get
- Word for PM to access file THESIS.DOC, which is in THESIS.ZOO, and have it
- automatically decompressed.
-
- Pity, really. I expect this to change in the future, though, as database
- and OO functionality is added to filesystems.
