[Freedos-user] Fwd: MUMPS (M)

[Eric A. <e....@jp...>]

Hi, forwarding something from Ken Geiger <ken thecoposcompany.com>:

I still use DataTree MUMPS (DTM) for some production.  Do you know of
anyone else who is working in MUMPS who has an interest in freedos.
MUMPS is very powerful and efficient database manipulation and was used
in health care and finance applications.  Looking for feedback and
direction.

No!!!, not MUMPS, I don't want to get sick!!! And no M either... <LOL>.

Also, I am fully able to write complete words, so I prefer these days 
to not use anything as cryptic as this excuse of a programming language...

Sorry, couldn't help it, still have traumatic residue from trying to 
convert a MUMPS (M) based software package to a more readable and 
therefor manageable programming environment back in the mid '80s. 
Luckily, that project was scrapped two weeks in and saved the sanity 
of at last half a dozen programmers.
