The Workspace Manager in 3.0 has a compress feature.
You can even compress entire directories.
The WM seems to opitimize disk space usage by deleting compressed
subdirectories and files.

A major problem with this scheme is that when you decide to stop the
compress operation through the Processes panel, WM stops the operation
and...YES YOU GUESSED IT, does not seem to recover the files it deleted.

I hope I'm missing something...ie like it puts these files in the
recycler?
