- Zoo210e.exe is a self-extracting archive. It is not the zoo program.
- To get the programs from it:
-
- 1) Move the file (zoo210e.exe) into an empty directory.
- 2) Go to that directory
- 3) Run zoo210e.exe with no parameters
-
- The program will create many files in the directory, including:
-
- zoo.exe - the zoo program
- zoo.man - the manual pages
-
- There are other files as well.
-
- I believe zoo210.exe also contains source code.
-
- Once you extract the zoo program, read the instructions. The syntax
- is fairly simple, but you should know some of the basic parameters.
- Type "zoo h" for help.
