It's a dynamic double linked list - and the way its set up - there are three versions - the simple tracks just pointers, the next has name, value and Description ansistrings and I make pretty huge lists with it, and it has Append, insert, findfirst, findnext, etc. I have an unofficial release on www.jegas.org and you need to use the compile switch that allows += construct.
