- That is some thing with the xpk/xfh package. It can not append to a file.
- The solution I am using is that I simply do a ctrl-x-w (save as) and then specify
- a directory which is not used by xpk/xfh. After that I simply copy the file back
- into the compressed dir. Sure it is a bit of a hassle, but it is free. :)
