Absolutely understandable. I am an old-hat (well, kinda old ;)) to the opensource world, so I am aware how cheap talk is.

The goal of our initial implementation is an application that operates exactly as CPRS would (well, excluding the minor bugs here and there ;)) before we start implementing and integrating new functionality. Some of these pieces are still undergoing finishing touches, but the functionality is a) all planned to be completed and b) all very close to completion. But everything listed above is either 100% functional or 99% functional. For example, we have finished reminder dialog support just recently. The transition from VistA's binary RPC broker to the SOAP broker has not been difficult, absolutely the difficulty faced so far is implementing the rest of CPRS. As you most likely know, the communication layer in CPRS is relatively simplistic. --Todd ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
