Bhaskar, Thanks for the references! I forgot about the Acculturation CD, but my only problem with it was the need to boot it. Most of my development time is spent in little snippets between patients and I need the computer booted with Windoze for my dictation system. I can PuTTY to the linux

Thanks for the suggestion, Mike. Incidentally, with VMWare being free, you could potentially just run the live CD in a virtual mmachine. Also, I wonder if John Leo Zimmer can tell us how to set up a CoLinux environment for a Linux live CD... Regards -- Bhaskar Mike Schrom wrote, on

Kevin, I replied to you off list. My hunch was correct, modifying a different Linux user's .bashrc and .bash-profile to remove references to VistA and set up separate directories for GT.M routines and globals worked. With PuTTY, I managed to: Using username mschrom. [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s

Mike, Good. At first, when I first read your message, I thought you were having trouble getting ^XUP to work, and I was going to try to ensure that you had your directories set up properly etc. But I see that you are wanting to avoid messing up your VistA. So good, you have achieved that. But

Kevin, My approach has been about the same, except that I'm already on my third install, and I sure did trash the first two to the point of unusability. Since Hui OpenVista is so much easier to install (Thanks Branden!), I'm not too concerned about having to replace it, but I would like to

Mike, I think your import plans are definitely do-able, and not such a big pipe dream. Would you like me to send you my code so you can see how I did it? I think you would find my code more readable than the traditional fileman format. I tend to layout my code such that it looks like c code.

I just got my copy of Richard Walters' book, M Programming, and I want to try writing a few simple M programs (one project is to parse my external patient data to put it into a form suitable for importing into VistA via Fileman). However, I would like to avoid screwing up my VistA

I am not thinking that I even need to copy the database. First, I intend to practice writing programs. That I should be able to do directly from GT.M, as a different user with a .bash profile that does not point to the VistA globals. Then, I plan to write a simple routine to extract data from

In Cache, you can map your routines elsewhere. In GTM, there is a way of setting up the path to the routines so that yours are used first and then those in a different directory if you do not have a routine that matches what is called, etc. However, that does not protect the globals from

Mike, are you doing this for a learning exercise, or because you need the job done (or both). I have code that does what you describe if you want to study it. I have a GT.M system, but it should work on either (I think). Let me know if you want me to send it over. Kevin On 7/12/06, Mike
