(Thanks for thinking of this Rahul!) ATOZ supports moving any foriegn archive into zoo archive format. Those who feel that zoo is not the best archiver (personal bias showing through here;-) should request that the archive author of choice create a utility to make archive porting easier on the rest of the world. I am not suggesting that you should bother Rahul about source to ATOZ (not sure it's available). I am suggesting that you email Phil Katz, Tom Henderson, and all of the others about creating a similar utility. #include/* "I'm just a zoo fanatic!" */ --Frotz @Digital Research, Incorporated amdahl!drivax!frotz 70 Garden Court, B15 (408) 649-3896 Monterey, California 93940 Ask for John Fa'atuai
