The self-extracting ZIP archive computer file ("cfsfmna.exe", see below) contains two large data files:
(1) The first is a plain text file ("cfsfmna.txt") containing over 3800 current or historic references dealing with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Chronic Fatigue, and Fibromyalgia, and which have been derived largely from the mainstream peer-reviewed English-language medical literature. It is not necessary to use MedRefs to view this text file.
(2) The second file ("cfsfmna.mdb") contains the same information formatted for optimal use by the MedRefs program described above. MedRefs allows more convenient and more rapid display and retrieval of the data as well as such benefits as filtering to select a desired subset of citations and exclude unwanted citations. This database hopes to be reasonably comprehensive, probably including more than you wanted to know, but you have the option with MedRefs of narrowing the search from the total information available.
