ABsTRAcr The methods adopted by the Mark II collaboration to study heavy quark production at PEP are described. Two complementary techniques are used: P' tagging using the decay chain D l +-+ D%+, @-K-R+, and inclusive lepton tagging using the characteristic pr distributions to-distinguish-.contributions from b and c quarks. These techniques are used to derive information about heavy quark fragmentation and about the weak coupling of heavy quarks.
