 AAAREADME.TXT	-- This file.
 PROB.DDL	-- CDDL format definitions of the record layout
 PROB.DTR	-- DATATRIEVE/COBOL format definitions record layout
 SAMPLE.DAT	-- The data file itself. 

 The data file is sequential, fixed, 820 block long.

    To use the data, you must understand the following disclaimer.

    This data base was derived from a telephone book. The last
 names were loaded first from a holding file. The first names were
 loaded from a holding file. The addresses were loaded from a
 holding file. The Street numbers were generated by F$CVTIME. The
 title and seniority were generated by a DATATRIEVE procedure. The
 city, state and zip code were loaded from a holding file.

    At no time were actual complete address and names were used.
 All names and address were generated from the holding file. Any
 similarity with know persons/places is just a fluke. The holding
 files were generated from randomly entered data from the phone
 book. 

    USING THIS DATABASE FOR OTHER THAN THE DECUS-DTR/4GL PROBLEM
 MAY RESULT IN VIOLATION OF THE DECUS CODE OF CONDUCT. Also, since
 the names and  address were generated, you probably be wasting
 your money on Postage.

    The above was distributed with the original problem.  In
 addition we have:

 DECUS.RGA   the Rally solution to the problem.
 DECUS.RBR   an exported version of the database used with the
             Rally solution.
 SOUNDEX.SEQ a data file containing the original data with the
             Soundex value of the last name added.
