Until now, we have been exporting the patient record to a floppy disk and
putting it in the Lloyd George envelope. The disk contains three files. The
first is a text file of instructions, the second is a text file of all
patient data ('The following Read codes are recorded...the following repeat
prescriptions...etc'), and the third is a CSV file of the same information.
