Same here. As long as our APIs for interacting with some external tools consist of "provide a valid filename" there will be some cost if everything has to be decompressed / exported-from-SQLite before we can use it. Admittedly, many users don't use external tools at all, but the people who do probably rely upon them heavily. I'm glad we've found a way to relegate this problem to a "minor...technicality." -Hyrum -- uberSVN: Apache Subversion Made Easy http://www.uberSVN.com/
