All the program does is reads a
directory, and for every file with a .zoo extension, it extracts it,
lharcs it, then moves it back.  The problem is that after the first file
FROM floppy, it crashes when it hits the ExNext function.
<
 If I recall, doesn't the filesystem sometimes eat it when you add/remove
files between an ExNext and another ExNext? Perhaps if you were to build
a 'hit list' (so to speak ;) of all the files to process BEFORE you
began the conversion process. Then you would have all your directory
scanning done before you started creating/removing files.
 
  And then again, I may be totally off track. The reason it would work on
HDs and RAMdisks, but not floppies,is that they use different FileSystems.
Your floppy is probably (unless you're really weird) using OFS, your HD is 
probably FFS, and the RAMdisk uses some GodOnlyKnowsWhatItIsFS. Give it a
try. Can't hurt.
