Huh, that was more a theoretical point of view

But I think there are good 'THashTable' implementations somewhere out there you can use.

Have a look here: http://www.vclcomponents.com/catalog/Hash_Table
and here: http://www.benya.com/code/collections/hashtable.html

I think a search for HashTable Delphi or a search here in the DP for Hashtable will bring you good additional information.
