However, here the supplier of the program and their support team couldn't fix it. Although open source has lots of advantages, if the seller / supplier and his support team is stumped, as is the user, then no win at all.

I am not suggesting that Horst ought to be doing that in this instance, but the fact that he *could* do it if he really needed to, thanks to the open source nature of Argus, is a significant advance over other mission-critical clinical software which is available to us here in Oz. Let's see more of it.
