Setting:  A Database, where changes on a record must be kept, i.e.
          a history of changes by storing records as an archive
          before it changes.
Problem:  Space limitation.  Records can be as large as 1MByte.
          
Solution:  Well, that is what I am looking for.  I have thought
           of compression, keeping delta records, and finaly
           I came uppon reverse delta records.

Now the only thing I need is an algorithm for it.  

Anyone out there can point me to the right direction?

Thank you.
