 To save a project using the compress feature:
The compress feature allows you to save a project in compressed format so that the project data takes less space on
your hard drive. This utility also will save the graphics libraries associated with the project into the compressed file.
This facilitates sending a copy of the project to another person who has EZware in order to open and download the
project into an HMI. It is also the best way to archive and backup your projects when you have completed them.
 The compress feature doesn’t save the fonts used in the project. It is best to use common Windows True Type
fonts (or the HMI True Type fonts) in your project so that if it is opened on another computer, EasyBuilder will have
access to the same fonts.
