Bill Davidsen has suggested (quite gently) that the zoo documentation could use some improvement, and I'm beginning to (reluctantly) believe him. It *is* a real drag to manually create all needed directories, but only if you don't tell zoo to do it for you: zoo x archive -- extract files into current directory zoo x/ archive -- extract files into correct subdirectories, but subdirectories must already exist zoo x// archive -- extract files into correct subdirectories, creating subdirectories as needed zoo x.// -- as above, but create all subdirectories relative to current directory -- Rahul Dhesi UUCP:!{iuvax,pur-ee,uunet}!bsu-cs!dhesi
