In Cache, you can map your routines elsewhere. In GTM, there is a way of setting up the path to the routines so that yours are used first and then those in a different directory if you do not have a routine that matches what is called, etc. However, that does not protect the globals from whatever havoc your routines reap.
You can made a copy of your cache.dat and mumps.dat for a test server. In Cache, you need to dismount the cache.dat before you copy it and move it to a different namespace. With GT.M, you can copy a database file with the mupip backup command.

However, I would like to avoid screwing up my VistA installation. I'm guessing that putting the routines in a user's Linux account other than VistA, will do this safely, correct?
