I am not a vendor and neither is GT.M. I mention GT.M (and Linux and Apache) because that is what I use and know best and because GT.M on Linux is a completely Open Source (Free) implementation of MUMPS that can form the basis for totally free installations of VistA and other MUMPS based information systems and applications, including M2Web and VMACS, At the moment, GT.M is the only Free (Open Source) MUMPS implementation that has been taken seriously enough by VistA developers to make VistA work on it. I believe that MUMPS_V1 implements enough of the MUMPS standard that VistA could be made to run on it quite well, but that has not been done yet as far as I know. >--- Thurman Pedigo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> .
