| At both home and work we continually use lists, card indices, filing cabinets ate. To store in an ordered manner repetitive data for all kinds of information. In the home this includes address books, lists of members of clubs or societies that we may belong to, dictionaries, encyclopedias, etc. At work, schools, colleges, businesses and particularly government departments have numerous filing cabinets and card indices for all manner of information. VU-FILE is a computer program for the electronic storage of lists or files based on the Spectrum. The advantage of a computer for doing this is not only that the information can be stored easily and compactly, but particularly that the computer is very powerful in ordering, sequencing, searching, finding and listing such files. The file consists of a collection or lists of "records" where each record may contain various items of information. Each item of information on a record is called a "data-field" VU-FILE allows you to lay out or format the standard record of a particular file in a manner of your own choosing. Each record vvill appear as one page on the screen and you may have as many data-fields in each record as is consistent with your lay out on the screen. | ![]() |
