I would like to implement a variable record length record using Turbo
pascal 5.5.

type
  element_type = record
    number_of_items : word;
    items : array [1..number_of_items] of real;
  end;

I've seen variant record structures before, but nothing which allows the 
size of an array of modulate as a function of a variable contained within
the record.

Any possible clues or suggestions are welcomed.
