Hello all, Could anyone give me a suggestion or two in regards to a small program I am writing? The question is as follows; Given a large list of words (alphabetically sorted) what would be the best/fastest way to locate one particular word? Obviously a comparison loop running from the beginning of the list to the end of the list would not be the way to go. I've thought of using an index type of approach but I feel there must be a better method. Any suggestion/comments would be greatly appreciated. -John
