You would probably be better off using linked lists, rather
than arrays.

I have a "toy" application demonstrating how to do this,
adding and deleting inventory items, and saving the
inventory database to disk when exiting the program.

You can download either of these files to see the example:

ftp.ada95.com/pub/pet_store.tgz
ftp.ada95.com/pub/pet_store.tar.gz
