There are also two other sources of free source code:
ftp://cucis.cis.columbia.edu/pub/hl7/hl7imex/
ftp://ftp.erl.wustl.edu/pub/hl7imexa/
I also understand that a large Australian software provider may put an HL7
Interface Engine into the public domain.

> ProtoGen/HL7 is essentially a parser/builder generator that extracts it's
