Dear Christine
You may like to ring me to discuss your challenging problem!
I retired from Imperial last year as Consultant in the computer centre, but
am still doing much database work around the College and elsewhere. I have
specialised in database and data conversion for many years and have
organised a lot of data input. I also organised and chaired a conference on
storage of objects for Museum applications.
