              * QAZ can recognize but cannot list these formats because 
                the files are compressed, encoded or encrypted, often of 
                single files.

   Version-numbers given are for where later versions may (or may not) be
   incompatible with this version of QAZ.
   
   Self-extracting DOS archives (EXE and COM) are also recognized using
   generic SFX-detection as well as tables of known self-extractors.

   File types with vague header information such as HUF, GAS or RLE8/16
   are not recognized by this version of QAZ.
