1. What is CPRS?

2. What language is it written in?

3. Is it the only way to access Vista with a GUI interface?

4. Does Vista exist with MUMPS roll-and-scroll and the GUI interface is
CPRS, a separate program?

5. Which options in Vista can be used with a GUI interface?

6. Where are the best directions for installing CPRS? Is it
self-contained (requiring only fundamental knowledge of computers)?

7. Do I have to know Windows internals to install CPRS?

8. What am I doing here and how do I get out?

C-B

I believe that the current version of CPRS is written in Delphi.

The first 3 have been answered. How about 4-7 (below)? I installed
Vista under Windows Cache using a CACHE.DAT file. Do I now have the
CPRS programs? Where do I get them?

No. In fact the Delphi library portion on which CPRS was built is not something
that I would expect to find in the public domain.
The engine was not developed using taxpayer dollars.

With ScreenMan, it is not usually scrolling.

Yes, sort of. CPRS in a client-server application.
The server side is an interface broker written in MUMPS.
The client side in written in Delphi.
The client can connect to any VistA server.

Most of those directly related to patient care such as orders and medical records,
iow, the applications used by doctors and nurses.

No.

Not really, but it doesn't hurt.

You are here because you have no clearer vision of where you should be.
What resources are at your disposal?

If you mean the server-side MUMPS routines, yes.
If you search for "RPC BROKER", "RPCBroker", etc., you should see numerous occurrences.
