MAKENIF.C Creates ordered non-indexed random
access file for use by SRCHNIF.C
Copyright (c) 1989 Ziff Communications Co.
PC Magazine * Ray Duncan
The user is prompted to enter from zero to one hundred
ASCII strings. These strings are then sorted and used
to build records in the file TESTFILE.DAT.
Each record in TESTFILE.DAT is RSIZE bytes long. Bytes
0 to (KSIZE-1) of the record are the ASCII key for searches
by SRCHNIF.C. Bytes KSIZE to (RSIZE-1) of the record
are initialized to zero and are not used.
