dc.description.abstract	<p>The RISS (Relational Inquiry and Storage System) data base management system was first implemented at Forest Hospital in Des Plaines, Illinois. It was originally written in BASIC-PLUS to run under the RSTS/E operating system on a DEC PDP-II minicomputer. The RISS system used the relational data base structure because of its basic simplicity and because of the ease with which new relations may be added to the data base without disturbing existing applications.</p> <p>The aim of this project was to convert the existing RISS software from BASIC-PLUS to CBASIC-2 to run on the Dynabyte microcomputer under the CP/M operating system, for use in the McMaster University Faculty of Business. A simple application program was also developed to demonstrate the converted RISS system.</p>	en_US
