I saw an implementation *very* similar to this at a National Pharmacological
seminar held in San Francisco in 1990. I believe that the original source was
written in either dBase IV or else Informix 4GL. For the life of me I cannot
find a reference anywhere in my database (damn databases!)that would give me a
clue as to the author, but at the time I remember that it was a simple unit to
write. Let me know what experience you or someone in your department has with
either of these database managers. Perhaps I can "walk you through it." It
really isn't that difficult.
Let me know if I can help.
