OK, I see; you're trying to improve TrID etc., since they're not smart en=

uncompress the file to figure out its file type. However, can't these uti=

use file name extensions? If so, I suggest using some extension like ".ve=

VirtualBox Extension Packs, as that won't require changing gzip and other=

programs that accept and consume gzip files.

Hello,
According to rfc1952 a gzip compressed file could contain additional
fields like a comment-field at the beginning. But i saw no option in
gzip command to create such fields. I have tried gzip version 1.3.12,
1.6, 1.9 on Windows, Linux and Raspian systems.

Does there exist in gzip command an option to create such fields or
is this feature not implemented? And if not can this implemented?

Thanks for advices and answers
