Well, the way I handled this is:

I simply use my autonomic bystandard fluxuator compression utility that I
wrote.  After that, I just run the room files through there (it automaticly
spell/grammer checks them too!) and it allows the entire mud to use NO
MEMORY!  Then I just shoot myself in the head.  What am I talking about?
AGHGH!
