Many thanks. May I recommend to others on the Openhealth list the
manuscript on Ca:sh to which there is a link on the Ca:sh Sourceforge

Sounds interesting. You might be interested in our open source work
on probabilistic record linkage, which may be useful for patient
registration systems, if not immediately, then at some stage in the
future: http://datamining.anu.edu.au/projects/linkage.html

We are keen to engage with the challenge of making our code
Unicode-capable in all respects.
