| Thanks for your reply,
I download this version on the panarthea archive.

| 1217.3 | Maybe I need a manual :-) | WARNUT::KAYD | WORM-mode noter | Wed Mar 04 1992 06:43 | 21 |
| I have a question on the use of ZOO, and this seemed like the latest ZOO note
so here goes ...
Is there a ZOO command which will enable me to have ZOO.TTP and the archived
file on drive A: and have the extracted files go to drive B: ?
I am trying to extract HACMAN2.ZOO, but I can't fit the .ZOO file and
all of the extracted files on a 720Kb floppy. I've tried creating a large RAM
disc (I've got 1Mb of memory), but then there isn't enough memory to run
ZOO.TTP.
The only solution I can think of at the moment is to extract as many files as
I can, copy them onto another disc, delete them from the archive then extract
the rest of the files and copy them, but this seems to be a very long-winded
solution.
Any ideas ??
Cheers,
Derek.

| In any shell, you set default to the target directrory, and give the
full path name for zoo on the command line.
I do this is both MSH (Mark Williams Shell) and in NEOcli (Gribnif)
frequently.
If you don't have either of those, I know that Joe Oconnor has been
touting a zoo-specific shell lately that he likes. It might be able to
do the equivalent thing.

| I wonder about this version of HACMAN2. The version that I had on-line
could be extracted into one double-sided floppy but I remember reading
that Dave Bagget had really worked hard to get this to work. Also, I
noticed that the hacman215 on terminator is an arc file so maybe it is
possible you got an incorrectly packed version.

| 1217.6 | Beware - Man out of his depth ahead ! | WARNUT::KAYD | WORM-mode noter | Thu Mar 05 1992 05:52 | 24 |
| I'm afraid that this is where my "I'm just a humble salesman" argument
comes into play :-)
I'm not running from a 'shell' (which I assume is some kind of Unix-style
command line interface). I have ZOO.TTP and HACMAN2.ZOO in (say) drive A:,
I double click on it and I get the normal .TTP command line. What I need is
a command which effectively says:
"extract A:/hacman2.zoo b:/*.*"
*and* which keeps the directory structure (I think that the qualifier for ZOO
is "/")
Do I need to have ZOO.TTP on A: with HACMAN2.ZOO on B: disc and then do:
"x/ b:/hacman2.zoo" ??
Would ZOO then put the extracted files onto A: by default ? This might work,
as the combined size of ZOO.TTP and the extracted files is probably less than
the space on a blank floppy.
Cheers,
Derek.

| Exactly what you suggest SHOULD work, yes. I was hoping you would come
to that conclusion from what I said.

| 1217.8 | Waving not drowning ! | WARNUT::KAYD | WORM-mode noter | Mon Mar 09 1992 03:09 | 13 |
| Success !!
Like most of these things, it's simple when you understand the principles.
I tried what I suggested in .-2 and it did indeed work.
Now that I know how to copy files from the network to my ST *and* how to
decompress them look out for more stupid questions soon :-)
Thanks to everyone for their help.
Cheers,
Derek.
