Maybe net-wise, but has anybody out there actually seen a phone-based BBS dealing in ZOO files? I haven't! From what I've seen, they seem to be blithely ARCing away, waiting till it freezes over (a.k.a. when PKs aren't ARCS). I'm certainly for ZOO; I think a re-unification is necessary. However, if BBSs don't touch ZOO, it's not too likely to get a tremendous PD user base, true? ||Jonathan E. Brickman
