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. -- bill davidsen (wedu@ge-crd.arpa) {uunet | philabs | seismo}!steinmetz!crdos1!davidsen "Stupidity, like virtue, is its own reward" -me
