	Not to knock your advice, but I have had a problem with zoo that I just
cannot figure out.  I am hoping that someone else with a similar configuration
can at least tell me that it _should_ work.

	I have TT with color/4MBST/1.44/TOS3.06/105MBinternal.

	With just AHDI5.0 loaded to mount my HD, I cannot run zoo on any known
good .zoo archives (uploaded them from the TT to a sun and unzooed them fine).
I have tried the "-extract" which should work regardless of case.  I have 
tried the zoo shell (.6).  I have tried using tcsh (with and without MiNT).
I have tried it on floppy without AHDI loaded.

	The symtoms are that I would run zoo, it would say "extracting filenam"
and then bomb with 2 bombs.  It will have created a zero length file named
filenam.  It does this (even the same number of bombs) regardless of method
of calling zoo. 

	To be completely honest, it had worked sporadically some 6-8 months 
ago before I had my machine upgraded to TOS3.06.  Then it stopped working (and
then I upgraded TOS).

	Does anyone have a clue as to what might be causing this?  Is there
a dip switch that might have been moved that normally wouldn't be causing 
problems, but interferes with zoo?

	Quester's Lzh has always (and continues to) worked.  If anyone has a
clue, please let me know.  I am presently trying to unzoo all of the MiNT/GCC
distribution disks and having to copy them to floppy, take them to my suite
mates computer to copy them, then unzoo them back onto the floppy, is starting
to drive me nuts.

	Thanks in advance for any help.
