Yes, sorry, I'll add that shortly.

The HDF5 people tell me they have fixed the fill value stuff for strings. I 
have to try out their latest snapshot to see if they got it all...

I have never tried to deflate a scalar value! I will make up a test for that to 
see if HDF5 allows it.

Deflate is known to work for arrays, however.

I will let you know when I have that string stuff for you...

Thanks!
