deploying single user database application using a text file as the data source

Hey gang,

I am trying to use a text file as a datasource to view data.  The trick is
that this application will have to run off the cd and the text fiel size is
15 megs. Can someone give me some suggestions on how I would go about doing
this.  I was thinking about reading the data into a table on startup and
using it.  But for a text file that size wouldn't that pose problems.

Why not put the data into a database table in the first place using DBISAM,
FlahsFiler, Advantage or some other small database engine that is easy to
distribute and run from a CD?
