Hi Jim!
Yes, I read your posts with interest. In fact, I've visited some UC Davis
sites connected with Vista and FreeM. I *do* use mod_perl to offset to a
degree the lethargy of the interpreted lang (as opposed to the compiled).
My original choice for a Pg interface was ecpg (ESQL/C), in fact I wrote
a man page for it, but wrestling with fgets() convinced me to go with perl.
Psychiatrists are verbose and I need a lang that can deal with char strings
and text data types...so perl it is.
I haven't regretted the decision.
These days we are merging with 4 other hospitals and the new chief of
psychiatry wants to bring in his system. This is Creative Socio-Medics
sitting on Mumps (hence my visit to freem.vmth.ucdavis.edu) and the price
tag is substantial. So, it was agreed that my system will remain in place
for 3 years. Meanwhile, I plan to get my code together as quick as poss.
And to learn M. ;-) This way, either I get to keep using my own src *or*
I fight for OSS of the M variety...if I can get a prototype box together
I have a chance.
Any tips for teens on where to begin? I have some BSD boxes available...
I plan to download a FreeM implementation.
My aim is to convince the new boss that there *are* alternatives available.
Even if we opt to stick with Mumps.
Cheers!
