Abstract: The database package was designed to allow small,
homogeneous databases to be quickly set up and
manipulated. The package provides the user with the
following facilities:
 
. An extremely simple method of defining the structure
  of the records which make up the database.
 
. A screen oriented database editor, which allows
  records to be created, edited and deleted. The editor
  supports protected and database managed fields. The
  editor was designed so that persons with little computer
  experience (i.e., typists, clerks, etc.) can use it.
 
. A report generation package, which allows specific
  records to be selected, and reports generated. The
  records to be included in the report can be sorted by
  any field within the record, and the report format can
  be easily modified.
 
. A FORTRAN interface which allows records in the
  database to be readily accessed from a FORTRAN mainline
  program. Fields within a record can be accessed via
  their logical names. A FORTRAN interface is also
  provided to the sorting module, in the event that the
  user needs to implement a special application program.
  The FORTRAN interface also allows the user to access two
  or more databases simultaneously.
 
. A menu program is included to allow the user to
  change between the various application programs without
  the knowledge of their computer interfacing.
 
This version (V2) of the Data Base Management Package
includes an easier method of defining and establishing a
database, and a much larger manual. The procedures
discussed in the manual are illustrated in a pre-built
database for managing telephone information which is
included.
