Another object that can be used to minimize disk usage in EASA is a FILE MANAGEMENT object. A FILE MANAGEMENT is a sibling to a PROCESS. The following file management actions can be performed with this object:

• Deleting
• Copying
• Moving
• Compressing
• Uncompressing

FILE MANAGEMENT
Essential Parameters:
Type:	Select type of file action (Compress, Copy, Delete, Move, Uncompress)
Original File or Folder:	File or folder on which to perform action. 'Compress'→Name of compressed archive file. 'Uncompress'→Name of folder containing uncompressed files.
Optional Parameters:
New File or Folder:	New file or folder to be destination of actions: Copy, Move, Compress, Uncompress
Do if:	Logical expression, if TRUE then perform action, if FALSE then do NOT perform action

Note: Files or folders compressed using the 'Compress' function of FILE MANAGEMENT are stored in a .zip format. It is the decision of the author whether or not to include a .zip file extension for the compressed files, so that they may be opened outside of EASA.
