Downloadable from Source Forge
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/worldvista), this SemiVivA distribution
is a repackaging of OpenVista 4.1 as released by the Pacific Telehealth
and Technology Hui (http://pacifichui.org) on Tuesday, July 25, 2006.
Assuming the file has been downloaded as
/Distrib/HuiOpenVista4.1SemiVivA.tgz, to install on your Linux PC,
execute the following, as root:
cd /usr/local
tar zxvf /Distrib/HuiVista4.1SemiVivA.tgz
This will create new directories /usr/local/HuiVista4.1 and
/usr/local/gtm_V5.1-000 and symbolic links /usr/localHuiVista and
/usr/local/gtm. Please note that this will overwrite any directories or
symbolic links you have with those names.
To use it, you will need to create an environment where you will work
(see http://tinyurl.com/738jk for details). As a normal user, to create
an environment in ~/myHuiVista4.1, execute:
/usr/local/HuiVista4.1/run ~/myHuiVista4.1
Subsequently, to get to an interactive mode GT.M prompt in that
environment, execute
~/myHuiVista4.1/run
To run entryref ABC^DEF in that environment, execute:
~/myHuiVista4.1/run ABC^DEF
Notes:
1. The M routines in the directory /usr/local/HuiVista4.1/r are
exactly as downloaded from the Hui web site.
2. In order to save space, global variables in the database provided
with OpenVista 4.1 were extracted and re-loaded into a freshly created
database. They are otherwise unaltered.
3. /usr/local/HuiVista4.1/p contains two routines XPDR.m and
XWBTCPM.m. XPDR.m as distributed by the Hui, and in FOIA VistA (at
least through the June 15, 2006 release) contains a line of code that is
not correct for GT.M. /usr/local/HuiVista4.1/p/XPDR.m contains a 1-line
fix by me. /usr/local/HuiVista4.1/p/XWBTCPM.m contains the version of
XWBTCPM.m from the June 15, 2006 version of FOIA VistA that allows the
direct connect CPRS GUI (CPRSChart.exe) to connect to OpenVista4.1
without the need for a callback from the RPC Broker.
4. All object files were compiled using GT.M V5.1-000.
