MARS: Multimedia Color Database for the Macintosh (9/93)


I want to implement a database of color images that can be accessed
locally or remotely. I'm flexible as to how these images can be
input (scanned photos, videotape, and so on). Any suggestions?

MARS (Multi-User Archival and Retrieval System) from MicroDynamics,
Ltd. offers one solution. MARS can take input from any kind of
document through an appropriate scanner. The documents are then
stored on WORM (Write Once Read Many) optical disks. These documents
can be used over and over again, but the original can never be
changed.

The system also has OCR (Optical Character Recognition) capability,
that lets you convert any digitized document to text and then edit it
with a word processor. You can add these revised documents to the
optical disk.

To locate a vendor's address and phone numbers, use the vendor name
as a search string.
