Duane,
this is a useful submisson. However, I would prefer if you made a couple of changes. Could you add an extra menu item with a compress option, or 95% of the people won't realize it is there I think. (perhaps the preference becomes redundant too then?), and use the standard suffix .cs.gz instead of a new, potentially confusing one? (assuming that unzipping them yields a .gz file)
How about it? Myself I am compiling 95 submissions from this summer for release as updates... Your phone stuff is in the pipeline!
thanks in advance, Henrik
