Hi George, and thank you for sharing this.
You told that DD* and DI* routines are backwards compatible with VA FileMan, as currently released under the FOIA by DVA.
Can we install this on whatever FileMan 22 patch? Because we can't install patches from FOIA anymore if we have installed this, will there be patches in the future from Medsphere?

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.
