MacBooz version 2.0 was posted on comp.binaries.mac a while back (and
actually made it through in a couple of months).

If anyone wants a copy of the program, let me know.  I would be glad to
send it out.

I wrote MacBooz 2.0.  Currently I am working on version 2.1 which fixes
a little list manager bug, uses the full extended filenames provided by
Zoo, and allows multiple open archives (the last one is just to see if
I can do it :-).

I hope to have this finished in the next couple of weeks.  I will then
post it as well.  I thought I would have it out before Christmas, but
lots of things seemed to have popped up...

There are additional features I am working on including as well, and I
am still taking requests, so feel free to write.

I am also looking for the most recent source for Unzip for the Mac.  (The
two programs may get merged...)  I would appreciate hearing from anyone
who has a copy of this.  (I don't have access to any archives.)

-Michael
