WHat do you think?
There probably is not any "the way" of calling mumps.

Applications running on Mumps (like Vista) will (want to) appropriately set the environment and install their own wrappers. > Setting gtm_chset to utf-8, which also requires LC_CTYPE or LC_ALL to > be defined to a suitable utf8 locale, runs the mumps process in UTF-8 > mode, e.g.: That *really* should be the default script these days. At the *very* least there should be a /usr/bin/gtm-utf8 next to /usr/bin/gtm and users be encouraged to use that unless that is impossible.
