The block header is just an internal implementation detail that is not
exposed to users of the file stream API, so you definitely should not
encounter 'DBLK' in the file data. The file stream API is supposed to work
like standard file I/O from a thicker computer.

Maybe post some code that demonstrates the problem.
Also, consider testing your file compression logic by using Poser's
HostControl API to make real files on disk. Then you'll know you are
working with a known solid file I/O implementation.
