Re: [Hardhats-members] Forth (was Linux question: Redhat 9 vs. Fedora 3?)

Re: [Hardhats-members] MUMPS for Mac OS X?
I haven't looked very hard at the page below, but its title suggests that you CAN install MUMPS on Mac OS X. http://www.cs.uni.edu/~okane/source/INSTALL_OS_X This seems to be a frequently update archive--I successfully downloaded this file dated Nov 26: http://www.cs.uni.edu/~okane/source/mumpscompiler-8.00m.src.tar.gz Can anybody comment?

[Hardhats-members] CPRS Demo auto-login rationale/difficulty...
I've been working with the CPRS demo database, and find it frustrating that I am randomly auto-logged in as different doctors each time. I should think this is done intentionally, perhaps because we don't want to worry about remembering passwords for dummy users? Anyway... Normally, I would never "give" a demo unless I could carefully orchestrate each keystroke and mouseclick beforehand so there are no "surprises" in the demo. Auto-login prevents me from practicing for a demo and making the demo repeatable. Is there a way to turn off auto-login so that I can practice on a specific flow for my demo? By the way, it isn't just CPRS that does the auto-login, if I do D ^ZU in the terminal, I get auto-logged to a random doc also.

Re: [Hardhats-members] OpenVistA naming contest
I think Kevin and Blaskar are on the right track, but as I understand it, this is a multi-dimensional naming problem: Linux vs. Windows if Linux then Knoppix vs. 'Damn Small Linux' vs. XXX CPRS Vista vs. FOIA Vista vs. Vista-Office? Cache' vs. GT.M bootable vs. installable if bootable then target server has CD drive vs. DVD drive etc??? Sometimes these kinds of variations are encapsulated in a version scheme rather than in the name, ie: opSysVer.VistaVer.BootOrNot.CdOrDvdReq I'd prefer fun names, but I'm not sure they'd work and I'm not good at coming up with them. When I am looking at my options for installing, I start by looking at my potential target machines with available resources, then try to figure out what I can manage to install given what is available and/or augmentable. It seems like we ought to chose a naming convention that makes this easy, even obvious, eh? Steve Wagner On Oct 12, 2004, at 2:21 PM, Kevin Toppenberg wrote: As per my other post, I would like to see if anyone is interested in a different naming scheme. To kick this off, I propose: "OpenVistA" for the standard disk that allows one to put the system onto one's linux system. and "OpenVistA bootable" for a disk that can be run directly from the CD with a USB flashdrive. Also, we would need to put a version number in the name. I would think either: "OpenVistA 2004" or "OpenVistA v1.0" would be fine. I would propose that the OpenVistA disk would contain the install information to install to both Cache' and GTM. What do you all think? Kevin ___ Do you Yahoo!? Express yourself with Y! Messenger!

[Hardhats-members] RE: Vista without CPRS...
I've been following this thread with interest, not because of the puzzle of getting CPRS to run with various security schemes in place, but because of CS Wagner's (no relation) comment early on that: "...it is my understanding that CPRS does not allow you to add patients..." It seems like what to do after installation and before CPRS is my problem, just as appears to be CS Wagner's problem. I've successfully installed the Cache Vista thanks to the very nice Hardhats installation instructions, but now am at a complete loss because I don't know what to do next. I finally got it that I needed to add some users with appropriate menu privileges so that I could start using the subsystems, but where do I start? In other words, it seems like the installation instructions or the getting started documentation or the original cache.dat ought to provide a little bit more in terms of basic configuration stuff, or am I missing something obvious? If I want to start entering patients after installation, what are steps A, B, C to be able to do that? A demo database would be nice--I've seen some stuff on the web authored by Rick Marshall about the Whoville scrambled database project, but it doesn't appear to be in existence yet. I've been in touch with my local VA folks (Seattle) to find out if they had any de-identified data I could start with but they don't. We are trying to get hold of the dummy data used in the VA's CPRS demo in hopes of using that as a starting point (as crude as it is). Does anybody out there have such an animal? I'll be forever grateful for some Whoville or other data, no matter from what type of facility. Please point me in the right direction, especially if I'm missing something obvious!
