%JR%   This program is a very simple string-based database.  It provides 
%JL%very little in the way of sophisticated database functions.  The 
%JR%programs' great virtue is speed; for example it searches my own 
%JL%telephone number file of 120 entries (total size 7k) for a non-existant 
entry in 0.2 seconds.

%JR%   The data file is edited (or created) in PipeDream; simply type one 
%JL%entry per line and save the result as plain text with the same file 
%JR%name as that specified in the Strbase program (line 5).  As supplied 
%JL%the filename is "LIBRARY/Z080C" and there is a small sample file of 
this name.

%JL%   When Strbase is run it will copy the file into RAM and assemble the 
%JR%machine code; this takes a few minutes so it is best left as a 
%JL%suspended application.  You should be aware that any changes made to 
%JR%the data file will only be recognised when the program is RUN or 
CHAINed again.

%JR%   In use simply type a few characters from the required name at the 
%JL%"Search String?" prompt and press <ENTER> whereupon any entries 
containing the search string will be displayed.
