RFC SLAG-001

[Ben Duncan]

Ok, this group has been a big help with several aspect's of my SLAG project
(I can post a preamble description if it if any one is interested).

I am at the point where things are moving along pretty fast, with data input routines,
screen drawing routines, box drawing routines, all pretty much roughed in. Hopefully
I can get a parking spot on sourceforge for it (Hey, any help from this point forward
would be GREATLY appreciated!!!).

Now, I am at the point where a "file manager" backend or some routine that can act
as a file manger back end, be written. I have kinda liked the way AppGen did with
referring to "File Number / Attribute" number ie A(1,1) always meant file 1 in the program
definition and attribute one of file one. I have been mulling over coming up with
maybe some sort of central dictionary method. What I want to do is isolate the
application developer from having to worry about database administration, so his "record" 
layout can be plugged in to just about any kind of file or DBM manager.

So, at this point in time, I am calling for any and all suggestions, methods or any
other ideas as a way to handle this.


Thanks ...
