No flames, please.  I'm an ecologist who occassionally must program.
I've got a big dataset which I must read in and then have random
access to.  It won't fit in 64K, so I get TP (version 5.0) error 96.

I have the feeling that as an amateur, I'm missing something with
Pascal's record structure, the use of types, and pointers... I have
RTFM, without much understanding, and maybe need some advice on
getting started, or finding a basic (no pun intended) reference.

I'd appreciate any help anyone can suggest.
Thanks, 

Rosine W. Hall
