- FEATURE n. 1. A surprising property of a program. Occasionally docu-
- mented. To call a property a feature sometimes means the author of
- the program did not consider the particular case, and the program
- makes an unexpected, although not strictly speaking an incorrect
- response. See BUG. "That's not a bug, that's a feature!" A bug
- can be changed to a feature by documenting it. 2. A well-known and
- beloved property; a facility. Sometimes features are planned, but
- are called crocks by others.

- To the user: If you discover any features in Zoo, please add a
- description and your name and the date to this file before passing it on.

- 1.
- If many files (50 or more) are being added to an archive, Zoo may
- run out of memory. This happens earlier if one or more of the
- filespecs supplied end with a slash or backslash ("/" or "\"). To
- continue adding more files to the same archive, give Zoo the same list
- of files to add but use the "-update" or "au" command. Zoo will continue
- adding files to the archive but will not add again any files that have
- already been added. [Rahul Dhesi 1986/08/20]

- If the disk gets full while a comment is being added, Zoo may fail to
- detect this but the comment will not appear in the archive. The archive
- is not harmed. Note that a disk full error due to addition of a file to
- an archive is always detected. [Rahul Dhesi 1986/08/24]
