I think Maple should have compression in the .mw format. I don't care if it breaks backwards compatibility, it should be an option. Later you can make it the default. I recently looked at this post, which links to an 11MB worksheet. Using "zip" compressed it down to 60KB. This is beyond bad - it's obscene! Note that this would also fix the problem of broken mail servers corrupting .mw attachments. Just swipe some FreeBSD code and put this feature in. Please!
