Re: [U2] trimming a list (a test of your ability)
Universe gives a slight lead to -1 too. Also, it compiles Y = Y:CHAR(254):I and Y := CHAR(254):I to exactly the same thing. I checked with VLIST and even edited the compiled code to be sure. ALSO (and this surprised me) it doesn't support ROUNDS *= 2 The documenation (Universe BASIC 2-25) only shows plus-equal minus-equal and concatenate-equal so I suppose that must be correct.

Re: [U2] RESIZE - dynamic files
Doug may have had a key bounce in his input Let's do the math: 258687736 (Record Size) 192283300 (Key Size) The key size is actually 19283300 in Chris' figures Regarding 68,063 being less than the current modulus of 82,850. I think the answer may lie in the splitting process. As I understand it, the first time a split occurs group 1 is split and its contents are split between new group 1 and new group 2. All the other groups effectively get 1 added to their number. The next split is group 3 (which was 2) into 3 and 4 and so forth. A pointer is kept to say where the next split will take place and also to help sort out how to adjust the algorithm to identify which group matches a given key. Based on this, if you started with 1000 groups, by the time you have split the 500th time you will have 1500 groups. The first 1000 will be relatively empty, the last 500 will probably be overflowed, but not terribly badly. By the time you get to the 1000th split, you will have 2000 groups and they will, one hopes, be quite reasonably spread with very little overflow. So I expect the average access times would drift up and down in a cycle. The cycle time would get longer as the file gets bigger but the worst time would be roughly the the same each cycle. Given the power of two introduced into the algorithm by the before/after the split thing, I wonder if there is such a need to start off with a prime?

Re: [U2] READU vs READ
If the multivalues have many many values, and you are adding to the end, then a speed up may be possible. MATREAD in the data, RAISE those array elements you are changing.
