Notes on the Amiga version of Zoo. (1.71)
Please see the file changes which should have been included with
this distribution for a list of the changes from the previous version
of AmigaZoo.
AmigaZoo supports full-length AmigaDOS filenames and can archive a
directory structure.
Note, when adding comments to an archive, the Amiga's eof
character is a control \.
Distribution of the latest version of AmigaZoo will be made
through the GEnie telecommunications service. I would also like to
distribute it through some BBS's that are reachable by PC Pursuit. If
you run an Amiga oriented BBS that is reachable by PC Pursuit and are
interested in being a distribution point for AmigaZoo, please contact
me. Please distribute all the files in this package together. If
your local BBS has an older version of AmigaZoo or a incomplete
package, please upload this package to them. I have heard that many
BBS's are missing all of the doc files, and that some still have
version 1.31.
I would like to thank John Hiday for helping to beta test
AmigaZoo. I would also like to thank Rahul Dhesi, first for writing
zoo and second for being so responsive to making changes in zoo to
make the Amiga version easier to create.
AmigaZoo is a user supported program. Zoo was written by Rahul
Dhesi and modified to run on the Amiga by J. Brian Waters. With the
consent of the author, I am requesting a $10-$20 contribution from
satisfied users. This contribution is purely voluntary and you need
not feel any guilt if you do not contribute. Any contributions
received will go toward one of three things: firstly, and most
importantly they will be used to acquire any tools which may appear on
the market to help make AmigaZoo better like more optimizing C
compilers or better debuggers; secondly, it will be used to help
defray the costs of distributing zoo; thirdly, if any money is still
remaining it will be used to buy some shares of Commodore stock. In
any case, you are encouraged to use and distribute this program in
accordance with the conditions below.
AmigaZoo is a derivative work of a program copyrighted by Rahul
Dhesi and as such is subject to the following limitations on
distribution:
Distribution of the executable AmigaZoo is permitted
subject to the following conditions. Any violation of
these conditions may lead to damages in favor of the
copyright owner.
AmigaZoo 1.71 may be duplicated and distributed, or
made available for downloading via telecommunications,
for no fee above normal connect charges. Organizations
charging more than a total of $5.00 postpaid for the
disk(s) containing AmigaZoo are prohibited from
distributing AmigaZoo. It is prohibited to distribute
AmigaZoo as part of any package over which anybody
other than Rahul Dhesi claims a licensing right, right
of distribution, or copyright or compilation copyright
of any kind. It is prohibited to distribute AmigaZoo
with any copyright notices removed.
Notwithstanding the above terms, Fred Fish is given permission to
distribute AmigaZoo in his Amiga Freely Redistributable Software
Library. Also please note that AmigaZoo has different distribution
conditions than the portable version of Zoo. These conditions allow
any telecommunications service which does not claim a compilation
right or charge a surcharge to distribute the AmigaZoo executable.
Bug reports, suggestions, contributions etc. should be sent to:
