dBASE III Plus™ computer software includes a high level computer language as well as a database management program. dBASE possesses advantages for key construction, including simple entry of raw data, effective user interaction in the selection of outputs, and ready comparison of included species with unknowns. This paper describes the use of dBASE in the construction of PENNAME, a new computer key to common Penicillium species.
