The way the data is structured is that I have a master array of

E.g.,

S[] Data;
S*[] OtherStuff;

I would seriously consider turning that around and work with 
indices primarily, then take the address of an indexed element 
whenever you do need a pointer for that specific non-relevant 
reason. It makes I/O trivial, and it is safer too.

size_t[] OtherStuff;
size_t[int] MoreStuff;
