Mabey files loaded to the CPM directory should be squeezed before
sending them to MC.  Doing this would increase the speed of transfers
to and from the machine as well as decreasing the ammount of
disk space taken up by these files.

It is a nice idea. But, unfortunately, I, and perhaps many
others, would not be able to transfer squeezed files. I am only
able to grab text files intact, and need non-text files Hexed,
which, of course, takes up time and room. However, as long as
there are helpful people who don't mind requests to hexify some
files, I won't mind too much.
