There is no such thing as accessing the IFAP database. One can
only interface with their frontend.

The interface would need to be:

class ifap_adapter(drugrefapi_base):
    def __init__():
        self.raise_ifap_frontend()

    def get_selected_drugs():
        return file.open('c:\ifap\selected-drugs.lst').read()

Is that possible ?
