Is there a version of MUMPS in the Public Domain for the pc? I think more
of us could learn to appreciate whatever the language has to offer if we
could play with it. Lisp and Prolog are good examples. If it had not been
for the distributions of XLISP and PD-PROLOG here, I for one would still
consider them as educational tools with limited commercial potential. I
find it hard to believe such a powerful tool (as described) has not come
out of the specialty category.

I have a couple systems (8650 and 11/780's) that people use to develop
departmental applications on that could use a powerful database develop-
ment package.
