- Zoo accepts file names from the pipe (I). You can also use things like the
- gnu find utility to filter out which files are zoo'ed. Under DOS I used
- stuff, a utility like Gnu find to pick out files which had been modified
- since a zoo backup file on the net, and add them, excluding *.tmp, *.o, etc.
