VA medical centers generally run Caché/VMS on the Alpha, so if this is the direction you want to go, you won't exactly be breaking new ground. On the other hand, there are quite a few people on this list who want to focus on purely open source solutions from the OS up. Regardless of the OS and MUMPS implementation you choose, the *VistA* source will be freely available. If you want an open source operating system, your choices are Linux, FreeBSD (or its close relatives OpenBSD and NetBSD). On the Power PC (but not the Intel platform), Darwin (the OS X kernel) is also publicly available (but not under a standard open source license so far as I know). There may be other options I'm not aware of. The two most common options for the MUMPS implementation are Caché (an InterSystems product, and not open source) and GT.M (which Fidelity makes available as open soure on IA-32 but is not generally available as open source on other platforms).
Me, I don't work for either of these companies and try to remain neutral to the extnt that I can. If I've failed in this respect, I apologize. --- Jamie Hussey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm running the windows version, and HUI4. I like to try it on VMS > later > on.
