No Karl, you're right. Things have changed and I suppose I'll have to
change along with them.

I don't know why the Compress option on the context menu for a
file/directory now opens a simplified dialogue box instead of the Archive
Manager, but this change has been deemed appropriate by the committee that
decides these things, so I'll just get on with it.

I am sore, but by the evening it will have ebbed.
