By default, the filetype is set to "ttxtTEXT" which causes Rev to make
the Finder think that all files it saves are text files. The easiest
solution is to use:

Hi,
Sarah is right (as usual :-)
If you want you can use the following too:
Type: EXT
Creator: GZIP

I've been playing a bit with this too.
I noticed that with a large file, performance can really slow down during
