Synopsis

This book provides the conceptual tools to build file structures that can be quickly and efficiently accessed. It teaches good design judgement through an approach that puts the "hands-on" work of constructing and running programs at the center of the learning process. This best-selling book has been thoroughly updated. It includes timely coverage of file structures in a UNIX environement, in addition to a new and substantial appendix on CD-ROM. All former programs in C and Pascal have been updated to ANSI C and Turbo Pascal 6.0.
