Mike (and others) - 

Those formats were established so that they would fit into the
database originally employed by Dave Kaleita and Carl Kreider
(original librarians... Dave is now the President). I believe Dave
pasted something together using RMS (a database tools package). I
don't honestly know if there's any latitude or not with regard to the
format... I'm not wild about it either.

If you have some suggestions that you'd like to see passed on, mail
them to me, and I will pass them on to Carl Kreider.

Pete
