That's a pretty good idea about decompressing into another database...I hadn't thought about that. But, this still leaves me with the problem of how to attach this database inside the PRC. I don't want the end-user to have to load 2 files (PRC and PDB). I just want a single PRC file.
I've tried using the 'par' utility to merge a PDB to a PRC file, but that didn't work. It merged the two files, but then the program couldn't "see" the database. This is why I tend to steer away from databases for storing my word list. Thanks, -Robert > > Bottom-line, a database of 40,000 records is way too > LARGE for a Palm game.

If you have to compress it, can't you just uncompress it into a database instead of into memory? __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful.
