   Could be.  I think Michael Hackett knew what it was called when we were 
chatting a couple of years ago.  I downloaded some stuff from Asimov and 
when I went to store it on a hard drive, the actual files were a lot 
smaller than the disk versions.  For example, a 140k file may open to a 
program that's only 26k in size.  I was able to pack a lot of stuff on my 
hard drive in this manner and everything works fine.
