Niall,
He's asking about _software_ dirs and files. Not about datafiles. It is
windows, where by default datafiles might end up in the software dir
anyway. I agree with you even then: it's a server! How much space is
there to be gained compressing executables and config files? One must be
short of disk (and thus short of money desperately) to go this far.
Best regards,
Carel-Jan Engel
