title: dNA: a simple dBASE program for medical studies.
abstract: The dNA program is an entirely self-contained package consisting of dBASE programs and files, that can be used by an analyst with some dBASE experience to integrate multiple dBASE files into a simple, coherent system. Only minimal training is required for a naive user to operate the resulting system. The source file for creating a system also serves as the system documentation. Consistency and validity checks can be built in, and system modifications are quite simple.
