Abstract

Summary: Filevision is a graphics-based data management system. Using a graphics package similar to MacPaint, you create graphic designs as a directory for the storage and retrieval of data. Thus, for example, a picture of a bookshelf might be used for managing bibliographic data. Click one of the book-icons and the screen fills with the data you've stored about that book. Data can also be retrieved in a conventional fashion-specifying up to four selection criteria.
