Description
Zoo Archive (.zoo) is a compressed archive format created in the mid-1980s that stores one or more files in a single file with lossless data compression. It was widely used on MS-DOS, Amiga, and early Unix systems for bundling and distributing software before formats like ZIP became dominant.
A compressed file format associated with GNU Zip (Gzip) that uses the DEFLATE compression algorithm, a combination of both the Huffman coding and the Lempel-Ziv (LZ77) codec.
