On 16 November 1981 attended an NFAC Technical
Seminar on the FOCUS data base management system (DBMS).
Featured were presentations by FOCUS developers and vendor
Information Builders Inc. FOCUS, a RAMIS like DBMS, provides
features and capabilities which, the vendor claims, expand its
user base to include applications which require the manipulation
of data represented hierarchically in addition to the RAMIS "flat

and provided input to planning efforts directed toward providing
tools help shift program development to the user. (U/AIUO)
