Repost the code. Nothing I still have in my inbox shows code to perform
a binary search of a table where each row occurrence can be any length.

After a couple of posts about my post, I will go back to my point.
You can only binary search a fixed length table.
Nonsense.
The table for the code that I posted previouisly consisted
of varying-length strings.
If you create an index
table, the index table is the actual table being searched, not the
original table.
Now, Robert does have mention a neet trick where the fixed table
contains a refference pointer to the actual data to be compared. But,
the pointer table is still a fixed length table. :-)
You just can't binary search a variable length table.
Rubbish. And the code to do it was written and published pre-1970.
