1. BTOS Convergent Technologies Operating System B-tree A multi-way balanced tree. The "B" in B-tree has never been officially defined. It could stand for "balanced" or "Bayer", after one of the original designers of the algorithms and structure. A B-tree is _not_ necessarily? a "binary tree". A B+-tree as used by IBMs VSAM is a B-tree where the leaves are also linked sequentially, thus allowing both fast random access and sequential access to data. [Knuths Art of Computer Programming]. [Example algorithm?]
