Hmmm, the 8 to 7 compression just isn't enough. My strings will actually be
quite long - probably 1500 bytes - and will contain a lot of spaces at times.
I'm toying with doing an index-card type DB. The idea is to have a full-screen
card which will get compressed and saved in a file. I'd like to compress things
to keep the filesize down.
