Which would go more support on this forum Cache on WIndows, OR GT-M? How would I get GT-M?

First of all, you have a choice of GT.M or Cache' as a MUMPS
implementation. If you choose GT.M, then you apparently cannot run
natively on Windows, and I'm pretty sure that OS X on ther PowerPC is
not supported. I've been meaning to see if it would compile under
FreeBSD or OpenDarwin on the IA-32 platform, but haven't had either the
time or the spare hardware. Cache' runs nicely on a variety of
platforms (including Linux, I believe), but I think the cube is only
available under Windows, meaning the directions on Hardhats for setting
up VistA are not directly applicable to Cache' on other platforms. I
would love to see a way to natively install on OS X (or other Unixes),
but I don't know if anyone has actually worked out the procedure.
