COMPRESS-FILE

Go through a SPECX-format data file, and physically remove spectra with negative scan numbers. This thus makes more space available in the file, but at the same time renumbers existing spectra within the file.

Examples:

    >> compress-file<CR>
    File number? (^z to list) [1] <CR>
