+Zoo is used to create and maintain collections of files in compressed
+form. It uses a Lempel-Ziv compression algorithm that gives space
+savings in the range of 20% to 80% depending on the type of file
+data. Zoo can store and selectively extract multiple generations of
+the same file. Data can be recovered from damaged archives by
+skipping the damaged portion and locating undamaged data with the help
+of fiz(1).
