			RMS-11		(DEC's Keyed file structure)

	
	RMS-11 is a comprehensive set of utilities that allow a user
	to set up very flexible record files that both primary and
	alternate key structure.  RMS-11 was created for users who
	need random access to large amounts of information.  It tries
	to maximize the conflicting goals of fast access, easy expanda-
	bility, and on-line real-time access and update.

	The Following Utilities exist:

	BACKUP:		Allows the user to ensure against the 
	total loss of data due to hardware failure or software
	error.  Creates BACKUP copies of files.

	CONVERT:	Permits the writing of records into an
	indexed  or relative file, the creation of a sequential
	file from records of another file of any organization, 
	and the appending of records to an existing sequential 
	file.

	DEFINE:		Creates an RMS-11 file and defines the 
	attributes of that file.

	DISPLAY:	Lists the attributes of a single file or
	group of files.  Additionally, this utility lists the names 
	of the files found in specially formatted backup container
	files on magnetic tape.

	RESTORE:	Reverses the process begun by BACKUP.  Allows
	you to actually recreate on your system lost files.

	NOTE:  RMS is available under most operating systems.
