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.
Tar archive created by tar, a Unix-based utility used to package files together; contains multiple files stored in an uncompressed format; commonly compressed into a .GZ file using GNU Zip compression.
