MDS512DL.ZIP contains example programs, documentation, and two DLLs which can be used to calculate RUG-III Version 5.12 from MDS 2.0 data. R512_16.DLL is a 16-bit DLL which can be called from 16-bit Visual Basic 3.0 or 4.0 applications or from 16-bit C++ applications. R512_32.DLL is a 32-bit ActiveX DLL which can be called from Visual Basic 5.0 or from 32-bit C++ applications.
Both DLLs accept an input string containing an MDS data record in the standard CMS format and return the RUGs value associated information. The current version of these DLLs (Version 1.00) supports only the 44-group model; the 34-group RUGs model is not currently supported.
