But the setup.txt script fits better with the packages on hardhats.sourceforge.net
I did not run setup.txt as a script, just typed in the commands one at a
time. I had to change a number of things that were different in my shell environment.
Unfortunately, I didn't write them all down.

My understanding was that VistA has a separate outpatient module. One way to

It would seem that someone who wanted to promote VistA could bundle the OP
module and the M platform in a easy to install Windows or Linux-based CD for
demo purposes. If we are not at that point where this is feasible, then we
should delay discussion until it is actually demonstrable to large numbers
of people. An open-source product that is demonstrable on the Windows
platform would be a (pardon the military expression) force multiplier. You
would have thousands of proto-geek MDs installing this and talking about it
at hospital staff meetings, the doctor's lunchroom and medical society
meetings. We need a groundswell of interest in SOMETHING to induce decision
makers to consider open-source as a concept.
There must be people on this list who have the technical skills to do this
