NOTE: For some reason, I decided that ISAM should be
covered before VSAM.
This is the reason that my chapter sequencing differs from that of Mr. Abels.
Here are Peter Abel's Original Appendices. While the material has been
worked
into my textbook, none appear exactly as in Abel's book.

The first page of Appendix I (Answer to Selected Problems) appears in the PDF
copy,
only because it was difficult not to scan it. The present text does not
use any of
Peter Abel's problem set.
