I need to ask a question for a friend. Their office routinely performs
radiation and contamination surveys. Dbase III is currently used to
generate the documentation needed by the survey technician to perform
surveys. The room maps required for the surveys are currently hand
drawn to scale showing a general room outline. Equipment such as round
radioactive waste drums, refrigerators, centrifuges, workbenches,
sks are shown in their applicable locations and labeled. Over time,
maps are required to be redrawn as furnishings are moved or added.
They are looking for a system that will provide for the initial d
of the maps, reproduce the maps at the time needed for the survey, and
provide for alternations as the room layouts change. The maps are to
be attached to the completed survey form (8-1/2 X 11)
mentioned above. Equipment can be preestablished in size, shape
(circle, square, rectangle, etc), and lable. ALso, it would be
desirable if the maps could be stored with or accessed with the
research investigators dBase III data field (MEMO field). Current
hardware includes a Sperry PC with a 10 Megabyte hard disk and a
Sperry (Qume) printer.
Does anyone know if dBase III can handle this? What other software
might be used?
Thanks in advance,
