Abstract

The constraints imposed on system design by microcomputer hardware and system software are discussed. File structure is described and there is a brief account of the overall system configuration. Indexing is by limited file inversion, with a number of choices of indexing mode. Boolean searching is used together with adjacency and character matching facilities. A number of uses of the system are briefly described.
