Todd, I'd just like to comment here that I am quite impressed with the feat you and your team achieved with the CPRS rewrite. I have been working with the CPRS in Delphi. There must be at least 30,000 lines of code. I wouldn't want to wade into that mess!
If Medsphere chooses to make that effort available to the community, that will be fantastic! As you know, there has been hard feelings against Medsphere over the copywrite application for the "OpenVistA". But my philosophy is to not take business decisions personally. But it sounds like Medsphere is wanting to contribute to the community, and that should go a long way to smoothing waters. I hope when this is all over that we will all be comfortible with each other. We're too small a group to hold a grudge. Thanks for all that you have done (and are considering doing...)
