Abstract

The two sets of software were developed using the advanced languages FOXBASE Plus and BASICA separately. A computer-assisted retrieval system was also developed that used Chinese characters, has distinctive Chinese features, and works along with microfilm reader-printer terminals. The system makes it possible to retrieve a required message from a microcomputer in about 2 seconds and then to retrieve the corresponding picture from a reader-printer within 20 seconds. 2 references.
