It is a nice feature.  But, sometimes I just need to get an individual file
or a small subset of the files in a SUBSET :-)

Actually, the files are compressed ONLY if the file UXXXxxx.comp 
(e.g. ULT030.comp) exists in the instctrl directory.

Before Ultrix 3.0 (I think that is when), none of the SUBSETS was compressed.
