Hawdee yourself! WordRecord class is used in the 'old' DB compression scheme. Basically there are a huge chunk of files in htword that supply callback functions to BDB to compress DB pages using a specific scheme. The scheme achieves about 8-1 compression, but it buggy and very hairy/ugly. We've moved away from it and are using gzip as our current BDB page compression scheme. It doesn't compress as much, but is much more reliable. When we finally get 3.2 out of the door, we could look at abandoning this old scheme and flushing the source files. Thanks.
