Thanks Bruce for the lead. I didn't know what to grep for; this helps.
The header comment for that function says
"Return the size of a datum, possibly compressed"
I take it the uncompressed length is not available -- that this is as close as
I'm going to get. I haven't traced through the function yet; maybe it does what
I need. I'll look at this some more now that I have a starting point.
Thanks again!
