I think this is more of a C question than djgpp specfic but, I want to
work with a big text list of varying size string, reading/writing to
files and manipulating the strings won't be a problem, but I am
wondering if there is some effective way of allocating the minimum
amount of space needed for each string as they are added to the list
since they could vary greatly in size (ex.  one could effectively be
char string[100] another char string[50]).

Ken.
