Abstract

CAIRS is a storage and retrieval package for creating and using local databases. It offers a great deal of flexibility in database design, indexing options, security and output options. It is a mature system that appears to be virtually impervious to user error. CAIRS is not an easy package to learn, even when configured with access menus. However, for regular, experienced users, the strengths of the package will repay the effort to learn to use it.
