Let me update you on what I've been working on:

I created an ephemeris.b36.csv file, with the planetary positions in 
base 36 minutes, 3 characters each - 4 with the c or HRt; it is 482 KB 
while the ephemeris.csv was 696 KB, where each position was 5 (/ 6). The 
difference is significant but for practical purposes not too impressive: 
both are a little large.

Then I gzipped it too: to my surprise its size was 153 KB, exactly the 
same as the gz of the ephemeris.csv. So if the files are delivered 
gzipped from the server, having the ephemeris data in base 36 does not 
make any difference.

In which folder did you put the .htaccess file? The temp? And what is 
the filename of the file?

Thanks,

Eustace
