Hi Jim,

Have you tried "binfile:"?

put compress(field 1) into url "binfile:xxx"
put decompress(url "binfile:xxx") into field 1
Works here for me...

Jim,

Change "file:xxx" to "binfile:xxx".  "File" tells Revolution to treat
it as a text file; "binfile" tells Rev "this is a binary file: don't
mess with it".

Klaus and Rob,

Thanks, that clears up  that part of the mystery. I see that I need 
to put things in the right bin.
