As you will gather I am very new to SQLite and indeed to databases
in general, so please bear with me. 

I am using the Singular SQLiteExplorer 3.04 to examine a 
Rootsmagic database. When I display a particular table, right 
click on a particular blob cell in the "Fields" column and 
select "Copy cell to Clipboard" I get

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Root><Fields><Field><Name>Page</Name><Value>Q4 1945 Newcastle upon
Tyne 10b 215</Value></Field></Fields></Root>

which I what I expected. However, if I instead select "Copy Result
Set To Clipboard" and then pick out the same cell fromn the clipboard
contents, I get:

fields="77u/PD94bWwgdmVyc2lvbj0iMS4wIiBlbmNvZGluZz0iVVRGLTgiPz4KPFJvb3Q+PEZpZWxkcz48RmllbGQ+PE5hbWU+UGFnZTwvTmFtZT48VmFsdWU+UTQgMTk0NSBOZXdjYXN0bGUgdXBvbiBUeW5lIDEwYiAyMTU8L1ZhbHVlPjwvRmllbGQ+PC9GaWVsZHM+PC9Sb290Pgo="

Can anyone please suggest what encoding is in use here? How on earth 
can the 208 characters in the second version encode for the 145 characters
in the first? 

Brian
