Many implmentations of ftp will do a Unix compress on a file before sending it if you append .Z (case sensitive) to the file name when you request the file. I do not know if the one that NCR uses does this, but it sure don't hurt to try. By the way, the previous version that they had up there (10k) was compressed.
