Abstract

In this paper we describe a new approach to the pure functional programming which is based on the use of a local area network and external files. This approach essentially increases the efficiency and the field of the possible application of the functional programs. Our concepts are implemented in the framework of a FP-like functional language named FP* through the system FP*/88N. Here we state the besic mechanisms of the different system modules which demonstrate the new ideas. The advantages of the new approach are explained and compared to those known by now. The experimental applications of FP*/88N prove the existance of opportunities to create usable applied programs in pure functional style.
