Data retrieval
Budget and Accounting Branch, Department of the Treasury, Canberra, Australia
Any filing system storing important information is bound to have questions asked of it. A magnetic-tape filing system is no exception, and when some question is posed it is essential that a precise answer can be quickly and economically obtained. A General Information Retrieval Program has been written to meet this need, and has been extensively used for the last eighteen months with considerable success.
