I need to read it into memory at startup. I don't need to write to it.

I believe the maximum per field is 64k. That would take very many fields
(over 100), and I think too long to read into memory initially.

Still too easy for folks to get at. This data file is the heart of my
program (it took six years to put together).

Other ideas?
