I converted postamt.dbf (327 bytes) to postamt.sql (501 bytes - longer 
because each record starts with the string INSERT INTO postamt VALUES(
to postamt.db (3072 bytes).  The sqlite .db file has long stretches of 
absolute garbage ^@ at the beginning and end.

I converted my larger dbf file from dbf to db and it grew from 430K to 
960K, more than double.  It also has long stretches of caret-atsign
in between records.

This sort of resembles DNA - long stretches of meaningless repeats.
I may experiment with removing them and see what happens.
