 I would appreciate any help in pointing me in the right direction.
 I would like to write a DA or a part of a application a reasonably
 fast specialized dictionary that might require 2 bytes for a character.
 What would be the best algoritm to use and is there any public source
 in C that is available as a starting point. I am thinking about
 300K keyword entries with approx 10 - 100 words associated with the
 keyword. Thanks in advance     wb
