VistA Office EHR SemiVivA 2.3.1 (MD5 sum
16a0e6ae1951a512e88d83edd4e254a9) is available for downloading from
the WorldVistA project page at Source Forge
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/worldvista).

VistA Office EHR SemiVivA 2.3.1 packages the release of VistA Office
EHR 2.3.1 as made available at the VistA Office EHR project page at
Source Forge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/vista-officeehr) on
January 31, 2007.  Nancy Anthracite configured the settings for it to
run on GT.M, and provided the CPRS and Vitals executables (for
Windows).  An access code of VistAis#1 and verify code of #1isVistA
will work for CPRS to connect.

Please note that this software has not been field tested.
Furthermore, most of the components for VOE were introduced to none of
the usual VistA SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle) where packages
and patches of any complexity usually endure a number of iterations
between SQA (Software Quality Assurance) reviews, field testing and
developer responses.  This software is intended for evaluation /
demonstration purposes.  You take all responsibility for using it.

This SemiViVA package is bundled with GT.M V5.2-000, as available
under the GNU General Public License from the GT.M project page at
Source Forge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/sanchez-gtm). A SemiVivA
package is a one-step install of VistA and GT.M on a Linux machine.

Assuming the file has been downloaded as
/Distrib/VistAOfficeEHRSemiVivA_2.3.1.tgz, to install on your Linux
PC, execute the following, as root:

cd /usr/local
tar zxvf /Distrib/VistAOfficeEHRSemiVivA_2.3.1.tgz

This will create new directories /usr/local/VistAOfficeEHR_2.3.1 and
/usr/local/gtm_V5.2-000. Please note that this will overwrite any
directories or symbolic links you have with those names. You may wish
to replace your symbolic links with new ones (i.e., the following is
optional; also to be executed as root in /usr/local):

rm gtm ; ln -s gtm_V5.2-000 gtm
rm VistAOfficeEHR ; ln -s VistAOfficeEHR_2.3.1 VistAOfficeEHR

To use it, you will need to create a working environment (see
http://tinyurl.com/738jk for details). To create an environment in
~/myVistAOfficeEHR (the choice of directory name is entirely yours),
as a normal user, execute:

/usr/local/VistAOfficeEHR_2.3.1/install ~/myVistAOfficeEHR

Subsequently, to get to an interactive mode GT.M prompt in that
environment, execute:

~/myVistAOfficeEHR/gtm_V5.2-000/run

To run entryref ABC^DEF in that environment, execute:

~/myVistAOfficeEHR/gtm_V5.2-000/run ABC^DEF

To get a CPRS GUI to connect to the environment in ~/myVistAOfficeEHR,
you should set up inetd/xinetd to execute
~/myVistAOfficeEHR/gtm_V5.2-000/cprs_direct in response to a
connection request.  If you have set up inetd/xinetd to listen at port
P, then use "CPRSChart s=SYSTEM p=P CCOW=DISABLE" where SYSTEM is the
name or IP address of the VistA server.
