a
Zoo Extractor/Lister

Booz 2.0 is a small, memory-efficient, public domain Zoo archive
extractor/lister. It is not fancy. It does not recognize the advanced
features available in current versions of Zoo, such as long filenames,
directory names, comments, and multiple file generations. Extraction
always uses a short MS-DOS format filename and all extracted files go
into the current directory.
But Booz 2.0 is simple and portable and can be implemented in about
fifteen minutes on any system with a reasonably good C compiler that
provides very basic string and input/output functions. And it will
extract all archives created by all versions of zoo including version
2.1, which uses a newer compression method.

COMPILING BOOZ 1.02

1.
Make sure that the two macros OPEN and CREATE are correctly defined
for your system in the file `booz.h'. Some sample macros are provided.
The macros must be defined to open files in binary mode (i.e.,
without newline conversions).
The macro OPEN is supplied a filename and it must open the file for
reading and return an open file pointer, or NULL if the open fails.
It is used to open the archive being extracted or listed, and to test
the existence of a file about to be extracted.
The macro CREATE is supplied a filename and it must create a new file
for writing and return an open file pointer, or NULL if the create
fails. It is used for creating each file that is extracted.
2.
Make sure that a symbol T_UINT16 is defined in `booz.h' that is an
unsigned data type whose size is exactly 16 bits. In most cases this
will be "unsigned short".
3.
If your C library does not provide the unlink() function (which
deletes a file given its name), define an empty function by that
name, or define a suitable macro by that name in file `booz.h.h'.
4.
Compile and link all the C files. A **IX-compatible makefile is
supplied.
MACHINE DEPENDENCE
Booz is relatively independent of machine architecture, except that
(a) the machine must be a 2's complement machine (all modern machines
are) and (b) `char' must be exactly 8 bits, `int' must be 16 bits or
larger, and `long' must be 32 bits or larger, and there must be some
unsigned data type (e.g. "unsigned short") holding exactly 16 bits.
Booz makes no assumptions about the filename syntax of the host
machine, except that it assumes that a dot "." is used to separate
the extension "zoo" from the rest of the name of the archive. It
will append ".zoo" to the archive name if it contains no dot. (This
fails if an archive name of the type "../junk" is specified.)
If your system uses a different filename syntax, you may need to
change the code. Also, if your system cannot accept some of the
characters legal in MS-DOS filenames, you may need to add a function
that will fix the filename before extraction. A sample function
`fixfname()' is included in the file `oozext.c'. It becomes activated
only if the preprocessor symbol FIXFNAME is defined.
This program does not attempt to be case-insensitive. Therefore you
will need to type names of files to be extracted in the correct
case.
REVISION HISTORY
Version 1.00
Corresponded to just the Tiny booz 1.02
Version 1.01
Included TINY, SMALL, BIG compilation options. Had a bug in
function needed() that sometimes cause file extraction to fail.
Version 1.02
Fixed bug in function needed(). Added support for Turbo C 1.0.
Revised this documentation and some comments in the source code.
Version 2.00
Revised to extract archives crated with zoo 2.1. Deleted TINY,
SMALL, and BIG options; it's all BIG now. Deleted low-level
I/O (read/write) and replaced it with stdio (fread/fwrite).
