Application Development:

The prototype systems (MORA/NPS and Vigna Barberini) were
assembled as a test of the information integration and management
capabilities of CRISTAL's macro authoring commands.  Macro
command routines included menu building, screen mapping, image
processing, text editing, and linking between text and graphic
fields.  The CRISTAL worksheet environment was used to build and
store the application command sets.  The prototype applications
demonstrate how the worksheet data fields can be organized to
facilitate data retrieval and integration.  

The prototypes represent one strategy for a menu driven
information management system that can be activated from the
graphics display screen.  The applications also demonstrate how
the graphics screen can be mapped with cell references to allow
interaction between the graphics and the worksheet environments.

The CRISTAL program makes the integration of text and numeric
information with images possible by mapping the graphics screen
that displays the images with a grid of cell references that can
be used to activate additional information fields in the
worksheet environment.
