this still leaves me with the problem of how to attach

just want a single PRC file.
You wouldn't need any more databases than you have now. When you load the program, instead of trying to decompress everything into memory, you just create a new database and decompress it into that.

another possibility is that you could compress each word individually and when you want to search for a word, compress it and search for it's compressed version. You might not be able to get very good compression ratios like that though.
