- GENERAL INFORMATION
-
- This program is based on Rahul Dhesi's Zoo archive format and Booz archive extraction program, widely used on Unix, MS-DOS, Amiga, and VMS systems.
-
- This version, MacBooz 2.1, was written by Michael Niehaus at Ball State University.
-
- SELECTION DIALOG
-
- This dialog takes the concept of wildcard selections and brings it to the Macintosh.
-
- Unix-style wildcards are used. For example:
- A10*.?
- would select all files starting with "A10" and ending with a single character extension.
-
- OPENING AN ARCHIVE
-
- MacBooz checks the format of all opened files to make sure that they are valid Zoo files.
-
- MacBooz uses a file type of 'Zoo ' and a creator of 'Booz'. Double clicking on a file with these types will start up MacBooz and open the file.
-
- DOWNLOADING AN ARCHIVE FILE
-
- Zoo archive files must be downloaded in Binary mode. Control characters are likely in the files.
-
- VMS Zoo files must be converted with BILF on the VMS system before being downloaded. See the BILF documentation for more info.
-
- TEXT CONVERSION
-
- MacBooz can convert text files from Unix/VMS formats to Macintosh format. Select the option in the Conversion menu.
-
- TEXT FILES
-
- Files extracted by MacBooz are saved with a creator of 'MWII' and a type of 'TEXT'.
