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?
