Hi,
Here's a program I wrote using Turbo C vers. 2.0 that searches for an entered
key and displays all data on that key.  The disk I'm using is the CIA's World
Factbook 1988 (from Quanta Press).  It doesn't work some of the time..  Any    
addiditions/enhancements/questions, mail them to the address below.  Flames
should be sent to /dev/null.

Hope this helps.

Dave
