1. I would like to propse that OpenVistA not be held to VA programming standards. The 10k code limitation and requirement that ALL VARIABLES BE IN UPPERCASE are two factors that jump to mind that I would not be happy to be bound to. 2. I think that screenman is better than roll-and-scroll, but it is still not completely intuitive. I have not read the manuals, but I assume that it takes a bit of work to set up the screenman forms. If it were easier, I suspect that it would have been more completely implementated. 3. I think that mixing M and C code might get a bit messy. I'd like to try it for a few add on modules, but I don't know about anything deeper. One place I could see this really shine would be the menu system. I think it would be fairly straightforward to have the menu system appear in a GUI box.
