I hereby propose a trivial patch to add support for recognizing .adz files. .adz files are just a shorthand for .adf.gz , in the same way that .tgz is a shorthand for .tar.gz .

The patch is very simple: One part to recognize that .adz is a gzipped file format, and one part to rename the output file to .adf . I haven't added auto-renaming to .adz when gzipping, because people not familiar with the de facto standard might get confused, though adding support would be trivial.

Documentation that .adz is a de facto standard for amiga floppy disk images:

* http://fileformats.archiveteam.org/wiki/ADF_(Amiga)

* http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fileextensions/f/adzfile.htm

* http://www.fileinfo.com/extension/adz

I have also been playing with my amiga emulator and games I found on the Internet, and there were a significant number of .adz files.

As far as my google skills suffice, I can't find any other meaning than "gzipped adf" for .adz, so there should be no unintended consequences: https://www.google.com/search?q=adz+file
