Dunno about Linux, but the MacOS version doesn't have SAD support at all. It is quite old, derived from an old version of the unix sources. And despite the GPL, the programmer/s responsible have released the binary but not the source. Grrr. Admittedly there isn't native .dsk.gz support either, but at least those can be decompressed and used. > DSK can't be GZipped, since SimCoupe needs to know the size of the file. > So I implemented only SAD.GZ, not DSK.GZ. I'm not sure what you mean, why is there a problem? Could you go into more detail?
