CPRS is based on Delphi not MUMPSand yes it is being ported to 
Java by VA.

 Pity.
 
 I find that it is difficult to get people to look at
 MUMPS. They all shy away from it. I have yet to meet
 someone in asia who uses VistA and M or GT.M for that
 matter.
 
 Porting it into Java was being discussed sometime ago.
 I guess that would be a difficult job?

 Thanks.

 There was an attempt with CodeWeavers to build the
 CPRS to work with Linux  instead of MS Windows.
 How
 far has this gone?

   Does this have a GUI interface?

 That is a very broad question.the answer is
 not
 everything in VOE 
 nor VistA has a GUI interface... the backend
 components like lab and 
 pharmacy are role and scroll for the most
 part
 but if you are a 
 provider of care you work in a GUI world.

 The clinical GUI interface for VOE is primarily
 CPRS, we are also using 
 a couple of other components which have their own
 GUI like document 
 scanning etc. We have integrated EsiObjects to
 provide a web browser 
 patient registration capability.

 There is no online demo for VOE but you can get a
 good idea of what it 
 is like by going to the online demo that the VA
 has:

   Please note that this VERSION OF THE

  this specific version has not been field

   Furthermore, most of the components IN THIS
 VERSION OF VOE were 
 introduced to none of

 Cycle) where packages
   and patches of any complexity usually endure
 a
 number of iterations
   between SQA (Software Quality Assurance)
 reviews,
 field testing and
   developer responses.

 VOE is currently undergoing completion of SQA
 using
 the same standards 
 as are used in the VA. This work will be
 completed
 toward the end of 
 March. WorldVistA has submitted its application
 to
 certify the software 
 under the CCHIT 2006 criteria...assuming all
 goes
 well successful 
 certification will be announced in late April
 or
 very early May.

 EHR 2.3.1 as made available at the VistA
 Office
 EHR project page at
 Source Forge
 (http://sourceforge.net/projects/vista-officeehr)
 on
 January 31, 2007.  Nancy Anthracite configured
 the
 settings for it to
 run on GT.M, and provided the CPRS and Vitals
 executables (for
 Windows).  An access code of VistAis#1 and
 verify
 code of #1isVistA
 will work for CPRS to connect.

 Please note that this software has not been

 This SemiViVA package is bundled with GT.M
 V5.2-000, as available
 under the GNU General Public License from the
 GT.M
 project page at
 Source Forge
 (http://sourceforge.net/projects/sanchez-gtm).
 A
 SemiVivA
 package is a one-step install of VistA and
 GT.M
 on
 a Linux machine.
 Assuming the file has been downloaded as
 /Distrib/VistAOfficeEHRSemiVivA_2.3.1.tgz, to
 install on your Linux
 PC, execute the following, as root:

 cd /usr/local
 tar zxvf
 /Distrib/VistAOfficeEHRSemiVivA_2.3.1.tgz
 This will create new directories
 /usr/local/VistAOfficeEHR_2.3.1 and
 /usr/local/gtm_V5.2-000. Please note that this
 will overwrite any
 directories or symbolic links you have with
 those
 names. You may wish
 to replace your symbolic links with new ones
 (i.e., the following is
 optional; also to be executed as root in
 /usr/local):
 rm gtm ; ln -s gtm_V5.2-000 gtm
 rm VistAOfficeEHR ; ln -s VistAOfficeEHR_2.3.1
 VistAOfficeEHR
 To use it, you will need to create a working
 environment (see

 create
 an environment in
 ~/myVistAOfficeEHR (the choice of directory
 name
 is entirely yours),
