You are fundamentally mistaken.
Double bytes caracters are only used when the palm user is using it. Your system can support multi byte caracters, but the caracters will only use two or more bytes if the caracter is a multi byte one. Latin caracters will take just one byte per caracter, with no storage waste.

Ken,
But I'm curious why an assumption like this (1 byte == 1 character) would simplify your record packing problem.It is not the "coding" that concerns me, it is the storage.
I have to pack a huge amount of data into the Palm. Unless I am fundamentally mistaken, double byte
characters will require twice as much storage per string as single byte characters.
