Since zoo does not create a temporary file when adding files to an archive, just use it normally and you can fill a disk with zoo archives. Additional disk space is needed only when packing an archive to recover space from deleted files/deleted comments etc., and even this works across disks if you give the "." modifier to the "P" command. -- Rahul Dhesi UUCP:!{iuvax,pur-ee,uunet}!bsu-cs!dhesi
