; NAME
;       DBCOMPRESS
; PURPOSE:
;       Compress a .dbf database file after a call to DBDELETE
; EXPLANATION:
;       The procedure DBDELETE will remove specified entries from a database
;       but it will not free the unused space.     DBCOMPRESS will compress
;       the .dbf file so that it only contains valid entries.   
; CALLING SEQUENCE:
;       DBCOMPRESS, dbname
; INPUT PARAMETERS: 
;       dbname - Name of the database to be compressed, scalar string
; NOTES:
;       (1) Will not compress the index (.dbx) file.   The size of the .dbx file
;       is controlled by the MaxEntries value in the database definition 
;       (.dbd) file
;       (2) The updated .dbf file is written in the current directory.
;       This may need to be moved into the ZDBASE directory.
; PROCEDURE CALLS:
;       DBOPEN, DB_INFO(), FIND_WITH_DEF()
; REVISION HISTORY:
;       Written, W. Landsman      Raytheon STX        May 1998 
;       Converted to IDL V5.0 June 1998
