Otherwise, I think we will have a lot of confused users wondering why their files are compressed when they just specified "-ascii". jwe
1) Parse default_save_format and set default formats 2) Parse user args 3) if user specified no options parse the default_save_options....I suppose this would give pretty much the behavior you want, but is less clean....
