I hate when people use strange formats for images like .DAA when there is .ISO and .BIN that is compatible with everything.
Ease up tiger.
Under linux - by default I dont have zip, should I get annoyed too? The tar gzip combo are standard unix utilities, used by a high percentage of fpdb users, and for the vast majority of open source software.[1]
All the previous snapshots i've released in this format, you are the first to get uppity and complain... then redistribute the file??
I might suggest that getting snippy with a guy volunteering his time in development and support here is probably not the best strategy to get help.
The winzip and winrar both support the format without issues, as to a bunch of other utilities including the gzip and tar projects themselves.

[1] Both formats predate zip by a few years, and i'll never understand why windows doesn't ship with it.
