finding if first number

[franktaw at netscape.net]

As I have pointed out before, searching for something at the beginning 
of a sequence is problematic.  It is often rather arbitrary whether an 
initial 0 (or 1) is present at the beginning of a sequence.  So you 
will find or not find a sequence based on this arbitrary decision.

If you tie it in with the "first" index in the database (second item on 
the offset line, normally the index of the first value not 0 or 1), 
such a search might be of some use.  At least, that's my opinion.

  I downloaded the 119 parts using the small basic programs at the end 
and came up with this
 output with the seqfindfirst routine also at the end.

 find string 911
 %S A093634 911,911111,911111111111111111111,
 This 911 was found in Part 114
