Abstract

Students are exposed to various computer languages by means of introductory courses and texts. Often times, they do not have an adequate amount of time to become highly proficient in all aspects of a language. In the battle against time, often the material relating to file processing is omitted. This paper is about a course devoted entirely to file processing techniques as approached from several languages.
