WRT the point above, I found the documentation that says I should have 
gotten an error for the missing ddate.  Do we have a possible bug?  This 
was done in 07A which was the first update ever done in Babase 2.0 so 
maybe not all the validations were turned on that early?


    CYCPOINTS (Female Sexual Cycle Events)

During a period of continuous observation, a /series/ 
<http://papio.biology.duke.edu/babase_system_html/ch03s09.html#series>, 
sexual cycle transition events (CYCPOINTS 
<http://papio.biology.duke.edu/babase_system_html/ch03s10.html>) should 
not be missing. An individual's Mdates, Tdates and Ddates should all 
appear, in Mdate, Tdate, Ddate order. The system will report an error if 
this is not the case.^[58 
<http://papio.biology.duke.edu/babase_system_html/ch03s10.html#ftn.id2935212>] 
In consequence the combination of Cid and Code must be unique.^[59
