Hi,
Let's say I developed a front-end application in ANSI C, for
instance to display something like the following:
FOLDER A:
The main purpose of this application would be to search the
hiearchical list and then backtrace the item back up and to the
left to determine where to physically dig in for a particular
item. I might add extra internal information (fields) such as
IN/OUT at a later date. Periodically, a query would be made to
list the 'OUTs' and etc.
My question is how would one structure the raw core of data
itself? Something like this below or something else?
Almanac
Annual Reports:
1986
1997
2000
FOLDER B:
Battle of Britain Computer Game Manual
Bi-weekly Newsletters:
Week 1:
"Community develops forum"
"Local Geneology KIOSK reopens"
<etc>
<etc>
