ATOM DATABASE

The ATOM DATABASE is a very versatile and efficient cassette or disk based database system. Possible applications include:

Keeping a personal telephone
directory
Recording the stock of a wine cellar
Storing data on the chemical elements
Organising census data

The information can be typed in and edited just like a BASIC program, making it very easy to create and edit databases. The format of the database is chosen by the user, and consists of any number of named fields of specified width. The program includes commands to list subsets of the database, and output the database to a printer with full control over the output format. Subsets of the database are selected with a versatile testing command, allowing searches for equality, substrings, and alphabetical inequalities. The data can be sorted into alphabetical order of any field, and will sort 100 records in under 20 seconds.

The ATOM DATABASE comes complete with a 16-page booklet giving full instructions, and a sample application.
