filesize increase = 2 * data increase ?

Hello,

As some may remember I was working on a (well, sort of) compression routine
for storing the Physics elements. This now works, and I wanted to try wether
it makes any difference. I stumbled on something that puzzles me:

When I add the uncompressed strings (included, see under this mail) this
makes my file 412 bytes bigger. Now how's that? There are 103 elements all
taking up 2 characters, and that adds up to 206 characters. Why does the
file grow with 206*2 bytes?

Similarily, with compression, each character uses 5 bits. this makes
103*2*5=1030 bits, 1030/8 about 130 bytes. But the file grows 262 bytes
(code also included under mail)...

Could someone explain this to me?

Have a Nice Day,
Arnout Engelen
