Kevin; MUMPS predated object oriented models. A lot of the things that are part of the mUMPS model were object-like long before the "official object oriented model" was ever drawn up. It was the Object Oriented Task Group of the MUMPS Development Committee that formed up the WorldVistA group. If you take a look at the X3H7 Object Oriented Check List, you might be surprised how many of the Object Oriented Models don't fit the Object Oriented Ideals. MUMPS actually fits most of the characteristics better than many of the OO implementations.
The new model we were developing before we started porting VistA to GTM. Once we get everything stable and well underway, we hope to get back to that model description. By that time, we will have learned a lot more. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin Toppenberg" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <hardhats-members@lists.sourceforge.net> Sent: Thursday, August 25, 2005 5:17 AM Subject: [Hardhats-members] Re: All about programming I think a generic description of programming ought to at least adress object orientation. I know that M doesn't have it yet, but it is a fundamental concept. Kevin On 8/24/05, Gregory Woodhouse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks.
