Re: SAVF from V5R3 to V4R5

Zipping a file with the V5R3 *HIGH compression doesn't get you all that 
much.  I've tried.  They really enhanced it in V5R3.

Why not just FTP the save file to a stream file on any system he chooses? 
It can always be FTP'd back, and it could even then be zipped which 
usually yields pretty good compression for save files.
