Is that your 'hashLib ' updated?
No relation. hashLib subverts records; lots of 'do/run scripts' and stuff.
associativeArrayLib creates custom objects (the keys are stored as one big
string and the values in a list - scrunching the key string with TIDs gives
the list index for the value to return).

getRecordsLabel() still stinks. It's a crude parser; scrunch the record to
a string (itself a bit of a cheat, though not an actual bug-exploit; see
R23;) and figure out what it all means.:)

Arthur posted it on this forum late last year. (It stored values in the
same string as the keys.) I returned a bug report/update a short bit later;
can't mind if this was on the forum or direct to Arthur mind you. Don't
know if it's ever been distributed, though I'm sure you could bug Arthur
for a copy if you're curious.:)
