Hazards Control Department Use of the Sperry Database Management System, MAPPER

摘要

The Hazards Control data files are maintained in MAPPER, a Sperry-developed database management system that has been used for many years by Univac users. In its current version, MAPPER is extremely versatile and is considered one of the best fourth generation programs. It contains, in addition to a database management system, a word processor, office automation program including electronic mail, and color graphics routines. All of these routines are available for the IBM PC user employing the PEP program of Computer Logics Ltd. with proper board configuration. Some of the routines of MAPPER listed above will not be available if the user is employing VTERM through the Sytek net or by direct dial-up. (ERA citation 13:024045)
