One must specify that there is a header if there is one, each % item should only be listed once, and format is currently only used for "Date" class so you want to use the FUN= argument -- although in the development version of zoo format is availailable more generally. Here are several ways to do this. z1 is created using chron, z2 uses POSIXct and the z3 uses POSIXct and the new version of read.zoo in the devel version of zoo.
