  How about... zoo! I have been hearing for some months that there was a
new version "almost ready," but I know it won't go out the door this
time until it's believed to be totally bug and surprize free. I strongly
suggest that the binary be posted as uuencoded, and the source be posted
as a zoo file ;-> Alternatively it could be posted to sources.misc,
since it applies to Amiga, etc.
