Abstract
We have examined several computer systems to see how they could aid information processing of geologic field data. The processing procedure we have chosen combines a systematic note-taking technique, a computer text-editor for creating files of data, and automated printing of selected data or of complete file copies. Traditional text notes are the foundation of each station record, and no coding of data is required. The text-editor used is an interactive computer system that allows any individual with typing skills to build and use data files. On the basis of our experience, an interactive text-editor can readily fulfill the data-handling needs of most geologic field projects and offers important advantages over other systems that were examined.
