| Abstract: | A computer program is described which finds sets of diagnostic characters for the recognition of species. Unlike previous algorithms, it finds all the possible sets requested and will also run with reasonable demands on computer time and storage. The program will search for sets with a specified size range and with a given minimum number of diagnostic characters to distinguish a taxon from all the others. |
