4681.0. "how to use ZOO" by ROM01::LILLI () Tue Apr 16 1991 12:23

    Hello,
    
    Could someone spend two words on how dowload some files from the 
    AMIGA_BINARIES conference.
    
    I made the following tasks:
    
    	1. Extract from the conference  the files;
    
    	2. Unpack the file with the Shall Archive, now I have the files
           *.zuu 
    
    	3. ZOO -extract file.zuu the result of the command is : 
    	   ZOO: FATAL: Could not open file.zuu.
    
    What is wrong ?
    
    Thanks

4681.2Here are the missing stepsBOLTON::PLOUFFAhhh... cider!Tue Apr 16 1991 12:5223
    Please do a DIR/TITLE="download"
    
    Short answer:  Steps 1 and 2 are OK.  After step 2 you should have a
    bunch of files FILENAME.ZUUnn, where nn are the numbers 01 through
    however many parts are posted.
    
    Next steps are:
    
    3.  COPY FILENAME.ZUU* FILENAME.UUE (on Amiga, use JOIN)
    4.  UUDECODE FILENAME.UUE
    5.  If on VAX, CVTARC U FILENAME.ZOO
    6.  ZOO -extract filename
    
    Explanation:  The binary .ZOO file is encoded into ASCII for
    transmission using UUENCODE, and split into sections to avoid the
    problems some Usenet nodes have passing large messages.  The procedure
    outlined above rejoins the file segments, decodes them to binary, then,
    only on the VAX, fixes the file format so it is understood by VMS ZOO.
    
    BTW, I recommend unpacking the ZOO file on your Amiga -- shorter
    download time that way.
