as per Jeff's post regarding compressed files.

MicroWorlds Pro's compressed file format (.mwz) or MicroWorlds EX 
(.mwx) projects are better suited than regular .mw2 projects for 
posting on the web.  Due to their compression (half the size of .mw2 
projects) they will download twice as fast for dial-up Internet users.

On the same note, anyone with a classroom saving to a network folder 
will have much better loading and saving time using either above 
mentioned MicroWorlds project formats.  This is especially noticeable 
for Macintosh MicroWorlds Pro users.

Have a great weekend.
