Hello all,

I am trying to find any information on an application called Medical
Manager that runs on OpenServer 5

After many hours of searching google, I have come up empty handed. Any
links to websites or news groups that refer to MM would be greatly
appreciated. I had a doctors office call me in to connect a new PC to
MM, and to my shock they are running it on a Pentium 1 computer WITH
NO BACKUP and the thing is about 7 or 8 years old. I have stressed to
them how dangerouse this is and that they realy need to get them on
some newer hardware. Their entire practice is basicly housed on this
thing.

Thanks,

Norm

PS: If you have anecdotal experience with Medical Manager, I'd like to
hear from you as well. Inparticular, I would like to know where the DB
is located? what DB is used? etc.

copy /usr2 directory
inside usr2 is a home folder, look at user list and create those users.
copy /etc/rc.d/8 see usrdef file

I've worked on PCN and medical manager.
Medical manager SUCKS!
it uses an ISAM database (very old version), has no live access to the data
(no odbc, jdbc)


good luck,

Dave

Medical Manager is now part of WebMD, www.webmdps. The data is
usually installed in /usr2/meddata and the DB is a modified ctree.
There is a lot of information in the Installation & Appendices Manual

Norm,

I am not surprise to hear that, since quite a few physician offices
are still running a legacy medical practic software on SCO with
ancient hardware, anyway I use to work for a Medical Manager
consultant, MM does have a script for backup and restore, one time the
software as running in COBOL and later they converted in C language,
at one time MM was own by a company name System Plus and now I think
WebMD own's Medical Manager, they now have a WIndows verison and I am
not sure if they still sell/support UNIX versions.

Is is possible to install MM on another version of UNIX like FreeBSD?
Can you install it on Linux (Debian, Slcakware, RedHat, doesent matter
which one)? That would be even better.

How difficult is it to migrate the databases on the SCO version to the
new Windows version? Moving to Windows is a possibility also, (though
one I don't particularly like).


Thanks

We were a MedMgr dealer for 18 years until MedMgr deauthorized us all. If
you have specific questions I would be glad to answer them.

You will have to run MedMgr on SCO unless you want to run on Windoze. The
data is transportable but new programs would have to be "purchased" for
Windoze. Very costly now that MedMgr did away with all dealers.

By the way MedMgr never used COBOL. It has always been written in "C" and
uses the Ctree ISAM database. Data files are ASCII which are very easy to
maintain.

I don't thing so, You need to buy a Medical Manager Windows version,
one of my client migrated from a (non-medical manager)legacy SCO UNIX
based medical practice system to medical manager Windows based system,
they didn't convert the data, so they have to start over, they are
still using the old system for historical data lookup and payment
posting, BTW they are not very happy with Medical Manager support,
sometimes they return call after one to two days.

THey also, I've recently been told, won't give the owner of the
computer the passwords to admin the box.

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.

How hard would it be to port the thing to MS Access / SQL Windows? I ask out
of curiosity. I talked to a doctor many years ago who was interested in a
med package that ran on MUMPS. I wonder what happened to that?
