no news is good news

This list has been silent for over 2 weeks. Just more proof that MUMPS
keeps on working without a hitch. Personally, I think it's been over 15
years since I've had a system crash or database corruption.

Maury,

I (my customers) had database corruption some times (last one last year)
on MSM and few times (last one three months ago) on caché...

I believe that the newsgroup silent means that few people are learning
mumps or starting new projects in it.

Some people are still learning M, maybe not as many as .NET but there
are still a minor community out there. I was recently hired to be an M
programmer for a financial company and there are at least 20 other new
guys in the same position as M programmers.

What's a database corruption?

Ray,

It's been a few years since you decided to roll/write your own
MUMPS. I (and probably a number of others) would be interested in
hearing your experience since doing that.
http://www.mumps.org/mumps.html shows the current version dated at
2002. Are you still developing new systems with your version? Has it
expanded to any other operating systems? Any new versions?

Thanks.

How time flies when you're having fun... Actually it's 7 years ago.
We and a number of customers are still using it quite successfully.
Current version is 1.48; we haven't done much work on it in recent
years - does what we want quite well. I suspect GTM is faster and
has lots more features - so if that's what you need, use GTM. MV1
is very simple to setup and use. FreeBSD or linux (if you must).

I wrote my current MUMPS application in 1981; first installed easter
that year - it has changed over the years first on ISM (Intersystems)
then DSM-11 then MSM then VAX-DSM then MV1 - it's nice to not have to
pay for the language. The application is now running down (25 years)
and so am I (58 years) so I think MV1 will see me and the application
out...

Yet intersystems.public.cache is quite active with COS questions and
new projects being mentioned. I think that the slowdown in this group
is due to several factors, Cache and a lack of advertising cheif among
them.

Ray,
I'm sorry to be behind the curve on this on but could you give me/us a
URL
or other documentation on MV1?
Thank you!

There isn't that much info - basically:

http://www.mumps.org/
http://www.mumps.org/docs.html
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mumps/
https://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=70056

There is truth not up to the end. I use MUMPS near 8 months and I had
already a few crashes.

On the other hand traffic on comp.lang.mumps is rather poor.

Hope that it will be changed soon.
