Compress/decompress

[Brian Yennie]

Could you use combine and split to shuffle it between text and back? 
Something like:

combine myArray using tab and return
set the compressed_data of fld 1 to compress(myArray)
...
put decompress(the compressed_data of fld 1) into myArray
split myArray using tab and return
