George -- This is not an "unstructured" question, but an "unstructured" comment: thank you. And thank you for the use of GPL.
-- Bhaskar -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of George Timson Sent: Mon 11/7/2005 9:54 PM To: Hardhats Cc: Subject: [Hardhats-members] Medsphere FileMan Last April in Boston, I introduced some FileMan enhancements to the attendees of the WorldVistA meeting at InterSystems. These enhancements are part of a suite of open-source software, "MSC FileMan", developed by me for Medsphere. This version of FileMan, incidentally, is currently in operation at Medsphere's biggest customer site, a 450-bed hospital in Texas. Medsphere is now making this version of FileMan available on an open-source basis to the community. The download is at http://www.hardhats.org/fileman/MSC.html These MUMPS routines, a complete replacement for the DD* and DI* routines, are intended to be backwards compatible with VA FileMan, as currently released under the FOIA by DVA. The MSC FileMan routines facilitate internationalization of VistA applications by providing for foreign-language file names, field labels, SET OF CODES definitions, and help-prompts built into the data dictionary. They also make ScreenMan screens mouse-clickable. Included, too, are many minor enhancements not present in VA FileMan, including, coincidentally, one which Kevin Toppenberg asked for earlier today on this list: ability to audit specified Word-Processing fields. A good many bug-fixes are also included. One reason for the delay in releasing this software is that I will not be able to respond to questions and issues regarding this release in an unstructured way. (Questions directed to me willy-nilly from this list are, by my definition, "unstructured". A support contract with Medsphere is an example of a "structured" arrangement.) I hope that FileMan-knowledgeable folks in the WorldVista/Hardhats community (you know who you are!) can now step up to help in dealing with whatever feedback this open-source release generates.
