I seem to recall having heard of a C version of CARD, it certainly is a
simple compression routine (we even used it in DDR for many years).

CARD sends the data as a compressed stream w/ information on the original
date and time as well as the record format (maybe LRECL too?). I doubt
there would be many decisions about what to do w/ such files on most
other systems. It seems to me to be a very good format (but I may be
biased...).
>Actually, a NEW format is really needed.
I think CARD could do it all for you or could easilly be extended to
add any new features you need.
