I don't mean to be pedantic... but, save files are not compressed. They
can contain compressed files. If the save file itself is compressed, the
AS/400 cannot read it.
The difference is subtle, but it's conceptually like this:
gzip *.txt
tar cf textfiles.tar *.txt
_not_ like this:
tar cf textfiles.tar *.txt
gzip textfiles.tar
The difference may seem subtle, but it's important to someone who wants
to write a de-archiver :)
