Yes - the focus was on sorting - but since the whole subfile is in memory it can also easily be used for positioning searches.

Yes - the subfile image is kept in the program's memory. I've also done it using User Spaces for cases where a "reference" type subfile can be shared by multiple users.

The technique is explained here: https://www.itjungle.com/2008/10/08/fhg100808-story01/<https://www.itjungle.com/2008/10/08/fhg100808-story01/> I'm sure I've rewritten that in a more modern style but can't find the reference. That one uses a fixed array size but the technique with dynamic memory is the same.

Thanks, will have a closer look later. As far as I can see it's mostly about sorting, though.
