Missing in Action - Mickie

Post by RWAP »

Someone emailed me to see if I knew where he could get a patient questionnaire program dating from the early 80's called "MICKIE"?

It was published by Abies Informatics - he has a partial listing (from PCW - I wonder if he means PC World Magazine) but not the full program.

It appears to be a language developed by Dr Christopher Evans at the National Physics Laboratory - but was adapted to go through a series of questions and answers to help identify a patient's medical history.

According to Sinclair User (p7 April 1982 version) this was a language which could be used to simplify the writing of quizzes, word games and multiple choice tests, so it may not be quite what the contact is looking for - who knows!
