Abstract

The paper describes the development and system design of REFLES, a microcomputer‐based system for in‐house data files, in both its prototype and next‐stage versions. Specifics of hardware selection and configuration are outlined, as are details of file and record structures. Program functions are discussed, and samples are presented. The REFLES prototype is described in its test form, followed by presentation of the working environment, problems, and evaluation of the current version. Finally, the future of REFLES, or a REFLES‐like system, is outlined, both in respect to actual and proposed versions, as well as from a speculative viewpoint.
