[Care2002-developers] Search for Wisdom

Hey All;

I wanted to ask if any developers on this list have ever worked with an old 
HIS from Orascom.  I think it is called Maxc.  No one at the hospital could 
use a UNIX system, so they knew 0% about their HIS.  They only knew it 
doesn't work most of the time.  it was installed in 1990 or so.  It appears 
to be programmed in COBOL, using a local repository.  The doctors want me to 
migrate the data from that to care2x.  To be honest, the bigger problem is 
that their system only has a tape backup drive, 2GB, no CD, no floppy, and 
no network access.  It is HP/UX.  So, a bigger problem is first getting 
files off server.  I am searching my contacts for someone who can put the 
files on CD if I bring them a 12 year old tape.  (they do daily backups 
though a terminal, but do not know how to restore).  So, after my long 
winded explanation, has anyone on the list worked with this HIS in their 
career?  I know I am vague about information on system, but that is all I 
was given.  Any hints on how to migrate this 12 year old repository to a 
MySQL database?

Second easier question, one of the doctors at the hospital has asked if 
care2x PM could be installed at his clinic.  He is cardiologist and critical 
care doctor.  I looked in the CVS to find it, but did not.  I know the PM is 
still alpha, so it says on website, but I would like to get my hands on it, 
if I can.  Is it available somewhere?
