Not needed. The ZOO from the EMBL File Server and UH Gene-Server work
fine under VMS 5.X. It is a direct port from the Unix program; you
do not know how to set up "foreign" commands in DCL, you are not going
to be able to run the program. I just pulled the copy off the UH
server, uudecoded it, and typed "run zoo" and got:
<DBD.SERVER> run zoo
Usage: zoo {acDelLPTuUvx}[acdEfInMNoOpPquz1:/.] archive file ("zoo h"
for help)
Novice usage: zoo -cmd archive[.zoo] file... where -cmd is one of these:
-add -extract -move -test -print -delete -list -update -freshen -comment
<DBD.SERVER>
So all appears to be well. Set it up as a foreign command, though, to
unZOO other files.
