ROBACUS would have a difficult time understanding the big fuss people made about data base. This is because ROBACUS never needs to be conscientious about the existence of a data base. Everything is done in the natural course of action, with data files automatically managed
by ROBACUS via a unambiguous naming convention built into the software modules.

The only time things becomes nontrivial is when data files are used to link independent processings. Yet, still, everything is in the names. We need a versatil naming convention and file bookkeeping system, that are clearly understood by all ROBACUS modules.

As described in the file namspe.html, or naming convention html file, the file bookkeeping is done by the data file that has the alphabet 'd' as the 4th letter. This data file summarizes all the linking data files named with the 4th letter, d, replace by 0 thru 9 and their respective data argument list and any format(if not binary).

At the beginning of a processing where data or graphics files are generated, the user would be asked whether where each of the files is linked to. This and other information about the file would be stored in the file, ???d??, where the 1st 3 '?'s are the prefix and type of the processing module to be linked and the last 2 '?'s identifies the problem modeled of the linked processing.

Specifically, after prompting for the information about ???d??, a check of the file would be performed to see if the generated file is already listed in the ???d?? file to determine if writing it in is needed.

Then at the begining of the linked processing, a check would again be made of the existence of the ???d?? file. If it does, the data file names would be read off and provided for selection by the user during the processing. In the menu for the selection of all the files in ???d??, an option for removal of a particular file should be provided in case a file is found that is now useless.
