^^^^^^^^ - you know, 'more than one' - unless you're saying
that you can never have more than one GZIP archive at any one time anywhere
else in the (un)known universe, (in which case I should delete all my extra
ones, and can everybody tell me how many they've got so I can compensate).
It does make sense when the whole sentence in taken into consideration but
you only took the last two words, which even by themselves only imply 'more
than one GZIP archive' _NOT_ 'a GZIP archive can contain more than one file'
which is what you are on about.

Ahh, I see what you're getting at... .ADZ archive(s) is/are _not_ created by
the application of the program _gzip_ upon the original .ADF archive(s) in
the process _not_ creating GZIP archive(s) ;^)
