Hi,

I know from Ralph Alvy's book that a TXX file can shrink, for
instance during a "big clean".

I did a similar export/import (to change the structure), and the
TXX file was reduced to *one-third* of its original size, going
from 790 to 240 kB.

Apparently there has been no loss of data. I tested that by
comparing CSV files of the panels containing variable-length
text fields before and after the export/import operation.

But, just to double-check it, I'd like to know whether such
massive size reductions are normal.

Regards,

Marcos
