[GAP Forum] why zoo?

[Asst. Prof. Dmitrii (Dima) Pasechnik]

Igor,
.zoo is an old format, historically the first GAP was using, exclusively.

About 10 years ago there were long discussions on this list whether one
should use other formats, and common sense prevailed, so .zoo is no longer
the only format used.
Perhaps .zoo will be retired at some point...
