Subject: loading ascii database records
From: [email protected] (Alan K Biocca)

I'd like to see the ascii database load function (or a new one) be able
to recognize and decompress 'zip' formatted ascii database files.  This could
provide the advantages of binary loading speed by cutting down on the net
traffic, and ascii compatibility since plenty of tools for handling 'zip'
files are available on hosts.  Database loading takes longer than we'd like.
