    Why use ZOO? You can reduce download times substantially by using
    LHARC.
3696.3Wait for VMS-LHARCFRAMBO::BALZERChristian Balzer DTN:785-1029Fri Apr 20 1990 14:4616
    Re: .2
    
    While I'm also in favour of LHARC and use it for my needs all the
    time, the advantage of uploading heterogenous archives like the
    Fish disks in Zoo format is quite obvious:
    
    You can use VMS Zoo to request only parts of the Fish disk that
    are of interest to you and cut down on transmission time even more
    than LHARC ever could.
    
    So until there is a VMS version of LHARC (there's a UNIX version,
    of which I have the sources), we better use Zoo for Fish disks...

3696.4sure thing once we have VMS LharcCGOFS::OAKLEYBCNU2Fri Apr 20 1990 15:0913
    
    As per .3, the choice of ZOO is to make it more convienent for the
    people who wish to extract only those items desired for download.
    
    Once I have a VMS program which will reliably work with .lzh files then
    I will begin to upload in that format (after all I more than anybody
    appreciates the reduced upload time).
    
    There are a couple of people looking at the Lharc source but it is not
    an easy job to make it work under VMS.

3696.5Where are FF346 and FF350?LEDS::BUSCHDave Busch at NKS1-2Fri Apr 20 1990 16:446
I'm interested in FF346 and FF350 and saw them listed elsewhere but I didn't
catch the location where the files are stored. Have they been uploaded yet, and 
if so, where are they?

.3 mentions  extracting  from a .ZOO file from VMS - where can I get ZOO for
my VAX and are there directions somewhere?
