These examples use DOS/[[DOSBox]].

=== To create a Z format file ===
Given a file (example.txt) to compress, add it to a new temporary Zoo archive in the normal way:

 > ZOO.EXE -add temp1.zoo example.txt
 Zoo:  example.txt --  added

This creates temp1.zoo. The use the "z" option to extract it in "Z format":

 > ZOO.EXE xz temp1.zoo example.txt
 Zoo:  example.txt  ==> example.tzt  -- extracted

This creates example.tzt.

=== To decompress a Z format file ===

Given a file (example.tzt) in Z format, add it to a new temporary Zoo archive, and use the "z" option.

 > ZOO.EXE az temp2.zoo example.tzt
 Zoo:  example.txt  <== example.tzt -- added

Then extract it in the normal way:

 > ZOO.EXE -extract temp2.zoo
 Zoo:  example.txt  -- extracted
