The Groningen Radiocarbon Data base has been operating on an Apple IIe PC until recently. Both software and hardware of this data base made exchange with other systems very difficult. Therefore, the data base has been transferred to an IBM AT compatible computer. A new program has been written in Turbo-Pascal, using the Turbo-Pascal Database Toolbox. The program features versatile search routines. The output can be directed to various date-list formats, such as the International Radiocarbon Data Base (IRDB). The program is written in such a way that new date lists can be added with minor adjustments to the source code.
