REQUIEM (RElational Query and Update Interactive systEM) is an 
extensible, relational DBMS developed in C with a query language
based on the relational algebra called RQL (Relational Query 
Language).  Descriptions of REQUIEM can be found in :

	`An Extensible DBMS for Small-Medium Scale Systems',
	 Papazoglou, M.P., IEEE Micro, April 1989.

	or the book :

	 Relational Database Management - A Systems Programming 
	 Approach, Papazoglou, M.P. and Valder, W.,
	 Prentice Hall International, UK, 1989.


The original version has been extended in the following ways :

	- to make it a multi-user system and 

	- a preprocessor to allow embedded queries 
	  in standard C programs.
 
These changes are as yet mutually exclusive.

The source code for these extensions have been made available by 
anonymous ftp to :

	dcssoft.anu.edu.au

The respective compressed and tar'ed files are 

	- REQUIEM.tar.Z (muli-user version)

        - Requiem.tar.Z (includes preprocessor)

The person who wrote the multi-user version is no longer at the ANU
and is in fact out of the country.  He will be starting a PhD at  
Queensland University of Technology in 93 (or so I'm told).  Any
queries regarding this version of Requiem will have to wait until
then.
