Abstract

A microcomputer program for use in the storage and retrieval of histopathology records is described. The program was written using dBaseIII, a commercially available data management system. The program provides for efficient storage and rapid retrieval of pathology reports and facilitates clinical research. Downloading of data on to a mainframe computer is possible.
