Joel: We were there. We thought it was a great idea. We started rebuilding our whole infrastructure to accommodate the great "client/server" fad of the 1990s. Then we found out what C/S really turned out to be and bought the Data Repository instead. Our infrastructure changes were for the better anyway. We got the reporting functionality we wanted. We continue to be impressed by the robustness of the Magic OS. The last downtime we had due to software failure was the Termserver date bug. I believe that was in 1993. Twelve years of 24/7 uptime is a pretty good record. I don't think OS/2 or NT can match that. Of course the new fad is SaaS (software as a service). In its purest form this model has all clients subscribing to a single instance of the same software. I believe we abandoned this model in 1985 when we dumped SMS for Meditech. It's always interesting to see old defunct ideas re-marketed as cutting edge conceptual break throughs. Cache's "post relational database" is another amusing piece of marketing. When did MUMPS become "post relational"? I'm sure it would surprise E.F. Codd.

The C/S flavor still utilizes the MAGIC programming structure, and the modules operate in more or less the same fashion. Anyone doing npr coding in C/S can take a MAGIC npr, look at the source, and be able to do a 95-100% conversion of that npr into C/S. Attributes operate in much the same way. The biggest thing are the field names and DPM names. There are quite a few naming differences in the fields, but the fields still hold the same data. Procedures would differ on the absolute specifics, but the general flow would remain consistent. Granted, in a utopian L, subject lines would read "[C/S|MAGIC]: [NPR|Attribute|Procedure] Help - [Short description of problem]" but we are dreaming there...

Some are obvious, some are not. I would reply to more issues if it were clear which MT platform is being used when the question is posted. I don't want to give instructions for "how to" in C/S if the facility is Magic. Just an observation. There are probably several people like me that do not respond if they are unsure.
