Do I dare jump in? ... Maybe just a toe in the waters. As I understand Richard, consistency isn't the issue; flexibility is. He's trying to show that his basic approach is flexible enough to handle zip if people want that and not handle it if people don't (where "people" could be LyX developers allowing or disallowing the zip feature, or -- if developers did decide to allow it -- it could be users who select a checkbox to zip their particular document or not). OK. Not being competent to understand the technical details, my toe is coming out now. Bennett
