I'm designing a simple database in newLisp based on an XML document. I was wondering if anyone has tried to run any compression utlities from newLisp? I would like to compress the XML file representing the database as part of the save/serialization process, but I would like this step to be invisible to the user. (The same would apply to decompression when the user opens the database.)
Any ideas? I prefer open source solutions if at all possible.
I would also like to know if anyone has done any work validating XML schemas with newLisp? Either internally, or via an external tool.

You may have a look at:
http://www.hpwsoft.de/anmeldung/html1/newLISP/newLISP2.html
Offers ZIP (String) and ZLIB (String+file) compression. Freeware but not open source.
Thanks Hans-Peter...I'll take a look.
