This
paper, together with the preceding paper by Divilbiss, is intended
to
provide a background for the characteristics of minicomputers and the
ways in which they can be configured to tackle library problems. As part of
the discussion of
minicomputer features, an attempt is made to compare and
contrast them with
larger, general purpose computers. An acquaintance with
basic
computer concepts is assumed. Concepts of a more technical nature are
explained as they are introduced. The first section below discusses configura-
tions; the second section covers minicomputer software. Hardware and archi-
tectural features are covered in the
paper by Divilbiss.
