USING A DESK-TOP COMPUTER AS A MODEL DATA-BASE IN THE EVALUATION WORK OF VIEWDATA SYSTEMS

Abstract

The software package developed for the LUXOR ABC-80 type desk-top computer enables the user to write, draw, edit, store, recall, reedit, archive, etc. new and old viewdata frames. The pages can be stored on tape and on floppy discs, the latter providing quick page access of about 100 viewdata pages, the former ensuring a practically unlimited page library. The computer. together with the software package has successfully been used for the development work of teletext experiments in Hungary and is at present serving as a model-viewdata data-base providing very cheap facilities for all kinds of engineering experiments, research and development work of viewdata systems.
