Abstract
A database system embedded in an operating system command. The system is invoked by operating system commands and uses no system resources except when performing a command. Searching is performed by binary search on a sorted file and sequential search on an unsorted file. New and changed records are appended to the unsorted file and the files are merged whenever the unsorted file becomes too long.
