Abstract: A software was developed in order to help the management of reference collections when microhistology is used to determine herbivorous diet. This software represents a useful tool in the redetermination of the epidermis and comparisons of similar epidermis. Microsoft Fox Pro 2.6 for Windows was used to create the databases and programs because it supports several types of data such as numeric, alphanumeric and digitalized images. Running the program does not need high amounts of memory, so it can be executed in conjunction with other programs, without causing any trouble, even though the Diet program is image user.
