What I do for really big arrays is create a opaque type or class
VIZ:

TYPE
   BIG = ARRAY[0..MAX(CARDINAL)-1] OF BYTE;
   DYNCOL = POINTER TO DYNDATA;
   DYNDATA= RECORD
      currentSize:CARDINAL;
      data : POINTER TO BIG;
   END; 
   DYNARRAY= ARRAY[0..LASTROW] OF DYNCOL;

In use you use ALLOCATE not NEW to set the actual size of the 
data part in DYNADATA and make sure to save the currentSize to be 
able to DEALLOCATE, Rows not used are NIL. You can of course use 
any types suitable for BIG as long as:
1) it is no more than 64K
2) you supply all the procedures and functions in the MODULE too, 
the implementation of DYNA0RRAY (the opaque type ) must be 
private as this is dangerous. Be carefull writing rountines to 
read or write DYNARRAY.
