- Display processor 17 accesses database 11 and templates 13 by means of path 14. It will be recalled that since the computer equipments supporting the present invention may be in the form of a distributed system, this usage of path 14 may be over a hard path within a single machine, or over a communication link between machines. The determination of which kind of path access to perform may be performed by instructions within the programs comprising display processor 17, or by instructions embedded within data references if display processor 17 is "object oriented". Display processor 17 finds among templates 13 the basic template for a local jeweler's
