The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

I was thinking along those lines, but even if for some reason the
/caller/ might want the actual array(s) vs just get an answer to some
correlation. The effective initialization could be moved to a C-Spec as
a prototyped function\procedure invocation. If either the literal
values must be changed or a change is made from elements being set to
the literal values to being obtained\set from elsewhere [e.g. perhaps to
enable multi-lingual; obtained from a message file or ??], the procedure
may be the only thing needing an actual source change and recompile;
i.e. the caller can remain unchanged unless the interface changes.
