Hmm, posting GROB's in compressed format has a problem.  I didn't realize
that the compressed grob is not simply a binary number, but an object
type which can not be transferred via ASCII.  Which means that the code
would have to be put ASC'd.  This means that a GROB would first have to 
have to be compressed with the use of Erik Bryntse's PGROB routine, then
->ASC would have to be used.  However, the result would still be
substantially smaller for some GROB's and would still be worth it.
