The new "full" Windoze version is called Intergy and it is not the old
MedMgr. It is Progress database I think and in all of MedMgr's infinite
wisdom they didn't write a conversion from the old MedMgr to the new Intergy
package, at least not when we were dealers. Really stupid and it really
alienates your users.

Moving from the char based MedMgr on UNIX to the char Windoze version only
requires you to reindex the datafiles. All data remains intact. You of
course have to "upgrade" to the Windoze version. Last I knew they wouldn't
sell a char version, only Intergy but again I am not in the loop anymore.

Over 40 of us "old" MedMgr resellers have moved to a Windoze based package
called MicroMD (www.microsys-computing.com) with full conversion capability
from MedMgr.

Support for MedMgr is very bad if you have to go to MedMgr corp. Get ready
to spend a lot of money for poor support at best.

My email is bruce@adacomp.com if you want to converse.
