A Hypercard-based software tool developed to provide help in the identification of biological specimens is presented. The package implements a matching algorithm that compares alphanumeric strings and runs on Macintosh computers, though its simple architecture can be transferred to other computers and/or other programming environments. The overall performance of the program and its easy customization to specific problems are demonstrated by discussing at length one application in the field of earthworm identification.
介绍了一种基于Hypercard开发的软件工具，旨在为生物标本鉴定提供帮助。该软件包实现了一种匹配算法，可比较字母数字字符串，在苹果麦金塔电脑上运行，不过其简单的架构可移植到其他电脑和/或其他编程环境。通过详细讨论在蚯蚓鉴定领域的一个应用，展示了该程序的整体性能及其针对特定问题的轻松定制性。
