Hello Dokter,

thanks a lot for the upload of the files to the CVS. I will look into it 
immediately.

Regarding the impression of several initiatives, well, it is only an 
impression. Actually, there was no way to avoid that because of the following 
situations:

First, Mr. Mollin needed a quick solution to demonstrate to his potential 
customer. He was able to develop a working solution in just one week and has 
achieved his goal at that time.  Your announcement to translate the perl 
tools came a week later.

Second, your product is designed to be a generic tool while Mr. Mollin's 
solution was more or less  specifically targeted to convert hl7 coded files 
that were generated by a (major) commercial german software  for inserting 
into Care2x. His product is a custom interface. So, there was no conflict 
done.

The current situation now is that you have finished the tool scripts. It is up 
to Mr. Mollin's decision if he will expand his product using your tools or 
just continue his current coding. But I guess he will be using your tools 
soon or he can coordinate the programmers under his supervision to start 
using your tools.  He will surely need some time to study them.

Regarding the Daemon and ACK matters, I think it will be very productive if 
you coordinate closely with Mr. Mollin. He can give you a well-founded 
knowledge on the real needs of the hospitals (specially in Germany).

I believe, both products will reinforce each other. Mr. Mollin's code will be 
an example of how to create an interface and your code will be an example of 
how to use reusable tool scripts to create hl7 interfaces.

Thanks very much,

elpidio
