*lsearch.c - linear search of an array
*
*	Copyright (c) 1985-1991, Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
*
*Purpose:
*	contains the _lsearch() function - linear search of an array
*
*Revision History:
*	06-19-85  TC	initial version
*	05-14-87  JMB	added function pragma for memcpy in compact/large mode
*			for huge pointer support
*			include sizeptr.h for SIZED definition
*	08-01-87  SKS	Add include file for prototype of memcpy()
*	12-11-87  JCR	Added "_LOAD_DS" to declaration
*	01-21-88  JCR	Backed out _LOAD_DS...
*	10-30-89  JCR	Added _cdecl to prototypes
*	03-14-90  GJF	Replaced _cdecl with _CALLTYPE1, added #include
*			<cruntime.h>, removed #include <register.h> and
*			fixed the copyright. Also, cleaned up the formatting
*			a bit.
*	04-05-90  GJF	Added #include <search.h> and fixed the resulting
*			compiler errors and warnings. Removed unreferenced
*			local variable. Also, removed #include <sizeptr.h>.
*	07-25-90  SBM	Replaced <stdio.h> by <stddef.h>
*	10-04-90  GJF	New-style function declarator.
*	01-17-91  GJF	ANSI naming.

*char *_lsearch(key, base, num, width, compare) - do a linear search
*
*Purpose:
*	Performs a linear search on the array, looking for the value key
*	in an array of num elements of width bytes in size.  Returns
*	a pointer to the array value if found; otherwise adds the
*	key to the end of the list.
*
*Entry:
*	char *key - key to search for
*	char *base - base of array to search
*	unsigned *num - number of elements in array
*	int width - number of bytes in each array element
*	int (*compare)() - pointer to function that compares two
*		array values, returning 0 if they are equal and non-0
*		if they are different. Two pointers to array elements
*		are passed to this function.
*
*Exit:
*	if key found:
*		returns pointer to array element
*	if key not found:
*		adds the key to the end of the list, and increments
*		*num.
*		returns pointer to new element.
*
*Exceptions:
