compressing data

I'm returning to Rev after a while and I've forgotten how to compress a large file like a dictionary or array to save space. This isn't the same thing as zipping a file to send it (or is it)?

Well, there's the compress function, which returns the contents of a variable in gzcompressed format. But if you're looking to compress and decompress files, you would probably use the revZip commands.
