     This function does not appear to work with multi-dimensional
     arrays.  If you'd care to modify it to support this feature,
     please do and send it to Glenn Scott 71620,1521.]

                {'Invoice 2',DATE(),234.98,.F.},;
                {'Invoice 3',DATE() + 1,0,.T.}  }
    nErrorCode := 0
    FT_SAVEARR(aArray,'INVOICE.DAT',@nErrorCode)
    IF nErrorCode = 0
      aSave := FT_RESTARR('INVOICE.DAT',@nErrorCode)
      IF nErrorCode # 0
         ? 'Error restoring array'
      ENDIF
