Nitpick:  ZOO has some built-in expansion.  That is, it will match a
wildcard against a filename but not against a directory name.  Thus, all
subdirectories have to be explicitly specified:  subdir/*.   Yes, I
know, this can be a pain for ZOOing a directory with a lot of branches,
especially if they go several levels down.

One thing I've noticed about the ZOO version I use on the Amiga:  When
the current directory has hundreds of files, ZOO seems to look at the
directory entries of all of them even when I do something like:

	ZOO v foo.zoo

That is, it thrashes around for quite a while before getting down to
business.  Now, if I CD Ram: first and then try:

	ZOO v DH0:BigDir/foo.zoo

it does not thrash around.  Why?
