I tried using file streams, but again, I wanted the
word list to be contained WITHIN the PRC file.  I
DON'T want the end-user to have to load the word list
separately from the PRC file.  And, the issue still
remains that the list is compressed...therefore, it
must be decompressed before it can be used.

Even if I used a file stream, I would need to parse
the entire file (containing the list) to decompress it
into memory before I could use it!  This comes back to
the problem of the heap limit of 64kb.  Do I create
multiple heaps to store this decompressed data from
the file stream?  If so, then once again, my program
would require 500kb+ just to run.

Thanks for your help!
