*	The basis for this Pick-to-Uni*Verse dictionary converter was a
*	Microdata-to-Prime converter written by J. Michael Cannady and
*	Thomas J. Rauschenbach of Fulcrum Computer Group, Inc.  Ardent 
*	was granted permission to use that code by Infocel, Inc., a successor
*	of Fulcrum.

*******************************************************************************
*
*  Convert a single dictionary item from Pick to Uni*Verse format. 
*
*    Arguments:
*	item          - On entry, the Pick dictionary item to convert.  
*		  	On return, the Uni*Verse item to write.
*	assoc.name    - On entry, null.  On return, the name of any
*			"ASSOCnn" phrase to write to the dictionary.
*	assoc.item    - On entry, null.  On return, the association phrase
*			named by "assoc.name"
*	result        - Boolean: returned "true" if the conversion is 
*			successful, false otherwise

*   Look for associated multivalues.  On regular Pick systems, they're 
*   specified in attribute 4 in the forms "C;AMC[;AMC...;AMC]" and "D;AMC".  
*   On a Microdata, they're specified as correlatives in the forms
*   "D1;AMC[;AMC...;AMC]" and "D2;AMC".  For convenience, we seek out the 
*   Microdata form and change it to the Pick form before processing.
