Thanks to Andrew Fowler, Holger Foersterling, and David Vander Velde
for alleviating my fears about incomplete CentOS 7 setup; it appears
that the problem is in topspin generally (not just the newest
version) and does not interfere with normal operation with CentOS 7.
In particular Holger introduced us to an option we had been unaware
of--there is a "Save As" choice (under the disk drive icon at the
upper left of the topspin window) that allows creating a zip file.
That accomplishes all we actually need.
