 You can also invoke `appdwarf -a {appimage}` to convert an apimage. 
 I suggest checking the help (listed via `appdwarf --help`) for other options.

+## `zzexe`
+
+`zzexe` is a small tool similar to `gzexe` that instead uses zstd to compress single applications.
+I've included it because it has a similar goal to `appdwarf` on the whole, just on a smaller scale.
+
+I wrote it in part because I felt that `gzexe` was overly complicated, as I used to 
+just use a lightly modified version of it that replaces `gzip` with `zstd`,
+and to add a couple additional features. 
+
+It supports adding in a prefix command to the file using the `-p` options e.g.
+`zzexe -p wine some.exe` will generate a compressed file that will then run the exe.
+
+It also automatically appends the extension of the source file to the temporary file
+created when ran since some programs care about that, such as an emulator only
+running games of an expected file extension.
