MSpress Typing Error?

Hi,

Did anyone notice the following in MSpress WinXP book?:
on page10-36, exercice 4, question 2( in the bottom of the page).
The authors answered to it with "Uncompressed" (see page 10-84).

I personally think it is "compressed" instead of "uncompressed" because:
    the Compressed folder has NTFS compression attribute set (and all its subfolders and files) the Text1.txt file is created within the Compressed folder

Could it be a typing error?

    I have a copy of the book in front of me. :D

    Step(question)
    1(4) You create a file in a compressed folder and it is compressed.

    2(3) You copy said file to another uncompressed folder and it is uncompresed

    3(4) You delete the copy that you created in the uncompressed folder

    4(2) You return to the original compressed folder that still contains the same file from
    step 1...you've done nothing to the file...it's still compressed

    Especially seeing as in question 5 they claim it is compressed because "When a file is moved to a new folder on the same partition, its compression attribute does not change." icon_confused.gif

    Looks like a typo icon_eek.gif . I wonder what the point was that they were trying to get across but screwed up? icon_cry.gif
