Has a bug report been filed? If a bug, then it could at least show an
option not to compress but to simple mesh together in a TAR file.

In Konqueror,
open a directory
containing several compressed files.
Select all of the files.
Open the popup context menu (right-click).
There is no option to compress those files into a new
archive.

Any thoughts from others on this list?
About where in the code would I try to study this? The "Compress" menu
option does not appear at all. Only the Extract option. Kind of weird I
never ran into this before.
I needed to create single archives of my Slackware 3.5.13 packages for
easier downloading. I selected the files in Konqueror and then did the
proverbial deer in the headlights act. I just stared. :)
I had to archive the files manually in konsole. Doable for me, but not many people. That's why I'm asking
whether this is a bug or configuration
problem. To me, there is no reason why a person can't archive a set of
archived files.

Correct. This sounds like a bug.
The issue is probably in the konqueror service menu handling/mimetype code
in tdeutils or tdebase--I suspect that when compressed files are detected
the service menu providing "Extract" overrides the default service menu
that provides the "Compress" options.
