[MWForum]GB: compressed files on the www

[Mike Sandy]

MicroWorld Help gives:

"Save Project As
Opens a dialog box where you choose a new location and/or name for your
project.
There are two ways to save a project: compressed or uncompressed. If you
want to make your file smaller (for example, to publish it on the Web),
choose Compress Project Files in the File Type drop-down menu"

Am I alone in not having the "Compress Project Files in the File Type
drop-down menu" option available?

Mike
