Abstract
An interactive file-oriented language that allows the user to interface with a text-editor and with his own FORTRAN or assembly language code has been used to illustrate the flexibility of non-procedural techniques in the scientific field. The language is the first in a family of prototypes used to test alternative formulations of file organization problems connected with the storage and retrieval of scientific records, medical data or library documents in an interactive mode. The applications described here use files of research data in astronomical and medical fields. It operates exclusively in a time-sharing environment. The article describes the system and its applications from the point of view of language design, and it gives a detailed discussion of the file organization upon which it relies.
