1. Find the greatest RRN of the file
2. Have 2 numeric counters.
3. Initialize counter1 to 1
4. Initialize counter2 to the max RRN
5. Chain with counter1 and read the record
6. Chain with Counter2 and read the record
7. Increment counter1
8. Decrement Counter2
9. Repeat Steps 5 to 8 in loop unitl counter 1 = Counter 2
(when counter 1=counter 2) we would have reached the middle of the file
