Note: Data that is to be processed using the Encryption
Facility Client cannot be created using compression.
Now that's an "interesting" limitation. Seems to suggest that the
"Encryption Facility ..." can distinguish between a compressed (say, TERSEd
or ZIPped) "text file" and, say, a load module or program object. If true,
I must wonder why the effort was expended to code such "intelligence" into
what otherwise seems a quite useful (and simple) utility.

It's not really that smart. It would decrypt the
compressed/encyrpted file...but then uncompressing it would be up
to you.
