I have a friend who is about to set up his own (medical doctor's) practice
and is looking for an office system to handle the billing of patients,
filling out the standard insurance forms, etc.  He doesn't feel that there
is too much different in running a doctor's office as opposed to, say, a
plumber (at least in terms of the bookkeeping).  There is a great deal of
good software available to do this on IBM PC's, but unfortunately this
doctor is quite literate in computers and would probably suffer a seizure
if forced to work for very long on MS-DOS :> so I am looking for software
that will run under a decent operating system on a readily available
computer.

I am personally a great fan of OSK (OS9/68K) and was wondering about the
price/availability of this for popular machines, and what software is
available.  I would be open to suggestions for other DOS's as well, since
almost anything is better than MS-DOS (except toggle switches).

Please be specific in your replies (ie. price, names and addresses of firms
supplying such software, etc.).  Many thanks in advance.
