There are prob quite a few 'in memory' datasets you could use
I found this article interesting
http://www.delphi3000.com/articles/article_1871.asp
seemed a relatively simple solution (and could be altered to buffer a single
record)

> We have an app which sits on top of another Dos app. At the moment there
is

The

> Basically I want to eliminate the Paradox files, and just use the flat
