Fact is, while Rahul I think that's a very good idea. The only reason I prefer PK*** over ZOO is that PK*** is, in my experience, about twice as fast. The files are also better compressed, but the difference is not nearly so dramatic. Since the algorithms are basically the same, it would seem that the fast code Phil wrote could be applied to a version of ZOO, if not the better compression. The internal structure of ZOO is certainly much better; it would be nice to have the best of both worlds. Too bad that such an adoption is probably wishful thinking. Maybe someone else will speed ZOO up? It would certainly build support... -- > John H. DuBois III # spcecdt@ucscb.ucsc.EDU ...!ucbvax!ucscc!ucscb!spcecdt <
