Abstract
From a package developed for internal use, ASSASSIN has become widely recognised as a major tool in computerised information handling. The history of its development is traced and some of the many facilities available are listed. Operational experience has shown ASSASSIN to be reliable and versatile, both in terms of the programs available and the related services that surround them. Much of the continuing success of the package is due to the constant dialogue between its users and the ASSASSIN team, ensuring an active development schedule. The paper looks at some of the current development work including an on‐line search package.
