The current drugref.org database has a list of all PBS drugs, names and
ATC codes, enough for linking in to other databases. I got the data from
some HIC technician, I told him what I was using it for, they didn't
seen to mind at all. (See, HIC *are* useful for something after all ;-)
I also plan to write an Python module to make it easy to query the
database (this could also form a XML-RPC service)
