Interesting,  the problem I had with user indexes was the max size they could
be. Users indexes proved a speed that disk access could not come close to.

I feel if I can get data specifications for the resolve pointer for IFS, then I
can get the object.  Everybody on this MI list knows why.  It has to do with all
my last questions.  I need to retrieve images from the Optical systems, and if
they are stored in IFS.  I want to do it in MI because of the speed.  Maybe, if
I bought a current MI manual, then maybe it would be there.  My current MI
manual is about a version ago.
