Not in the program, but I'll add it. You could, run it through the

With all the off topic discussion, I've forgotten where to post this

New driver for reading/writing compressed lexicons/dictionaries is in
the source tree. zLD is the driver name. I just got things to
compile. Too tired to test. Let me know if you look at it.
