It is a bit of a hack but you are still able to use classic
"fromEncded" polys.

See:

     http://www.polylib.us/polycluster/coast/encoded.html

It uses the "points" string.  It ignores the "levels" string.

The "zoom string" was always confusing.  It adds 50% to the total
payload.  It does not shrink the poly itself.  Its purpose was
marginal at best.  Both the API & PolyCluster perform "on the fly"
point reduction without auxilliary help.

You might consider using an HTA to edit your polys.  You will be stuck
with Internet Explorer but you will be able to use the
ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") to directly read/write
your hard drive.

Once your edits are complete, you can save in JSON format without the
use of a database manager.  Basically, it is just a bunch of files
with unique URLs.  Access speed is improved because it does not
require a database manager.  Your monthly web host fee will be reduced
also.
