In old days I would simply do a malloc to create a triple array of char as 
needed to handle the problem I am now facing but I am now using AnsiString 
and while I can figure out how to easily create a single new TStringList 
(which I think is what I would use for an array of AnsiStrings) I can't 
figure out how to do a double array....

What I am doing is setting up a case where you have two dimensions that are 
unknown.  You have a unknown number of rows of strings and an unknown number 
of columns of strings.  This is read in as a CSV file which has preceding 
the row and column of Strings how many rows and columns there are.

I could of course simply allocate a huge space up front and have a maximum 
number of rows and columns that can be used but that just offends my sense 
of right and wrong.  So - does anyone have a clue what I'm trying to convey 
and how to deal with it properly?
