780.0. "ZOO.ARC" by HYSTER::DEARBORN (Trouvez Mieux) Tue Oct 06 1987 14:05

    What is this Zoo utility?  I downloaded it last night and unArced
    it.  Is it a faster arc program?

780.1ZOO = UnixArc (sort-of)MPGS::BAEDERTue Oct 06 1987 20:1011
    faster, i don't think so...(maybe faster, since only uses a single
    compression algorithm)
    
    Main advantage I see is that it stores the path (ie directory) of
    the file as well as the file name, and allows longer file names
    
    basically, a "Unix" version of ARC...so this does have some advantages,
    but nothing significant.
    
    Used quite a bit on Genie.
