A random access tree structure filing system has been constructed that is immune to operating system or internal failures through constant maintenance of a correct data structure on disk. Emphasis is placed on the fail‐safe nature of the filing system, the speed of access to random lines in a data file and the low level of human intervention required over an extended period of time.
