sorry, I should've been more verbose. You're wanting to compress to go around a limit in the size of the data.fs, whereas I think it'd be easier to use a different storage to satisfy your needs: either Ape, or DirectoryStorage, or LocalFS.
If you are running zope under an early version of python (ie. before python 2.2) then the Data.fs size limit is 2Gb. Here are two potential solutions: (1) Use DBTab to mount multiple .fs files (each one can be up to 2Gb) (2) Install zope with a version of python >= 2.2 - supports 64 bit addressing which enables files up to ~9200 Terabytes - which should be enough to keep you going for a while :) Jonathan
