- I tested out NS 3.0's ability to save a file too large for one
- floppy. I had tarred and compressed a directory, which ended up to be
- just about 8 Meg. I then saved it to a floppy, and workspace properly
- asked for more disks, etc. The problem is that it required four entire
- floppies to perform the save. The original file would have filled a touch
- more than three floppies, but somehow the split file grew by about 2 Meg!
- Should I not have compressed it first, as Workspace claims to compress it
- before saving it? What is taking up all this space?
