Since you asked ...
I'd like to see 2 text files, either fixed length or
comma separated format.
Table 1 would be the main table with
five fields:
Genus - Species (i.e., A.
borellii)
Genus
Species
Group
Complex
Table 2 would be the locaiton table with three
fields:
Genus
Species
Location (like
the killies) I would then convert it into an Access table and from there,
import it into my Palm Vx using HanDbase database application. I did this
with the Killifish Master File IV produced by Dr. Ken Lazara, which actually
took some doing as I converted the web pages found on the Arizona Rivulin
Keepers web site (http://ark.killi.net/). However, it
doesn't have location code data, which is published in Wild Collections of
Killifish by Roger W. Langdon, so I'm missing that portion of the data. I
have written Roger about integrating his data into my database, but he has
not responded yet.
Mike, I'd be happy to send you a sample copy of these files
for you to see the structure (simple, really). But I can't make it
available to everyone as it's copyrighted material and I cannot distribute it
without the author's permission.
