Speaking of zoo,

I have a directory containing about 150 files totaling over 3 megabytes.
I try to "zoo -a archive *".  Zoo seems to take _forever_ to do its work.
Even if a try to add a single file, zoo crunches and grinds and takes so
long, that i think something's wrong.

I tried an experiment and created 100 0-length files.  I then did a
"zoo a foobar file1", and once again- clunca-chunka-clanka goes my
harddrive.  Was a little quicker tho, causing me to believe that zoo
is reading _every_ file.

Has anyone else spotted this?

Also, why the heck won't Lattice compile a file
which contains no code or data!??
