	It's a new feature!  New .compressed files are created by using tar
and compress.  Since Workspace is not capable of recognizing .tar.Z, they
decided to call them .compressed (although .tar_Z, or maybe .tarZ would have
been easily recognizable).

BTW,	Workspace also knows about .Z (compressed) files, but not .tar!  8^(
