We have implemented 2 things, a crossplatform version of CPRS that runs, and has been tested, on Windows, Linux and OSX. Our goal is to both modernize CPRS in general, and to allow us to integrate and expand on the GUI functionality offered. This application talks to VistA through a piece of middle-ware, that publishes a standards-based SOAP Web Service API instead of RPC calls. This API is available over a HTTPS connection, and the middle-ware then speaks directly to the VistA server, over a lan connection (thus isolating the VistA server from the internet-at-large, and allowing remote connections in a HIPPA compliant manner). We are in the midst of heavy discussions about how to open source the various pieces involved. --Todd ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
