Compare an address within your file with the first and last one of the file

Random PQF v5.1 Quote follows:
"No, no, no, what you do is, you get a gnu, then you point it at the driver
and someone says, 'Look out, he's got a gnu!' and you say, 'Take us where
we want to go or I'll fire this gnu at you!'"
