 *  Compressed data base module.  Auxiliary routines to open and manipulate a data base for
 *    which the sequence and read information are separated into two separate files, and the
 *    sequence is compressed into 2-bits for each base.  Support for tracks of additional
 *    information, and trimming according to the current partition.  Eventually will also
 *    support compressed quality information.
