Have a look at the generic library "Save Compressed Sequences" by Ralf
Nieuwenhuijsen. It has routines for loading and saving sequences..

   Also take a look at generic library "Save Euphoria Objects In Memory" by
Jordah Ferguson.

   The "LZ" or "BZip2" compression libraries offer some pretty good
compression and are supported by many mainstream archivers. And could be
viewd mod'd easily.

   Personaly I think incorperating compression, loading and saving metheds
in your proggie itself would be better than relying on a third party
archiver. In theory this would save alot of access time reading files.
