I think we need to go ahead and do this to the latest CPRS, document exactly how it is done, come up with a seamless solution for making these html wrappers that an office staff can do and probably fix up the whole package to work with a scanner with open source drivers and a sheet feeder plus flat bed scanner combined so that the office staff can scan documents in and hitch them up to a patient.
It should ideally be a scanner and browser that can work with Linux so that we have a chance to get it to work with the Codeweavers help on Linux with Wine. I will finance the scanner, even do the research to find one that looks suitable, and send it to whoever is willing to take this on. I know Kevin may not have the time, but I bet he will be willing to coach, and we need this SOOOOOON. I have a copy of Delphi 7 which I will temporarily transfer ownership to someone else if they don't have a copy and will take this on. I may even get you your very own copy of Delphi 7 if I can find one that won't break the bank. So, any takers?
