RE: Mapping buckets in a record to arrays

Not only does it work well it can save you quite a bit of coding.

You mentioned that you have quite a few of these sets of buckets.  If the
layout for each one is the same, and the processing is the same, you can set
up an array of pointers, each of which points to the first element of a set.
Then in a for-loop move a pointer out of the array into your based bucket
array pointer, and do the processing.  All your buckets handled with one
processing loop.
