- * IsamH is a simple ISAM that can only append to the end of the list.
- * It will need a clean-up process occasionally...  Code stolen from

+ * Isam-D, Heikki's second Isam. 
+ * The first block of an isam entry contains deltas to the
+ * (possibly long) sequence of keys. Thus small changes consist
+ * only of adding deltas to a small list, and affect only one 
+ * block. Occasionally the block gets full, and needs to be 
+ * merged with the rest.
