Along with John Wavrik I would miss the many little supporting utilities for ARC and PK, particularly file finders that can search globally through a HD, archives an all, as well as the menu utilities such as SHARC and PKARCM. Hopefully these will come along if we shift over to ZOO. I am glad that Rahul has pointed out that ZOO can be prevented from creating a directory structure. This may be inviting to some, but I prefer no external choices of directories on my disk. Forrest Gehrke
