- NO ! NO ! NO !..
-
- ZOO is far to bugy and has to many limitations, no output redirection
- and no folder creation..
-
- Plus one other, far to hard to use, try it on a 520k one drive machine,
- out of all that I have used, LZH201x would be the simplest and the most
- versatile to use...
-
- So Please think of the masses, we do have 14 year old's using Internet here,
- with free public access...
-
- We have a Atari support BBS here in Wellington New Zealand, all archive files
- are of the LZH201x format, this is because Atari users voted this way for it,
- its the easyest one to use...
-
-
- I am a Electronics/Computer Eng, with some 35 experience, and I have had more
- problems with ZOO than any other archive format..
-
- Plus have had a Atari since 1986, and what I state is fact and not fiction...
-
- All the Atari users here (New Zealand) will support in what I state here..
