Although we appreciate the many letters you sent us regarding the tutorial on MSM-Workstation, we were unable to print these mainly because of the large number of entries.
I took charge of the Computer Department on the 4th of May 98 and discovered an old server with "MSM-PC/PLUS, version 4.3.1". I need to export data from MUMPS to ACCESS (for statistics), but I can't find the instructions an don't know how to proceed.
Please help me, every idea will be welcome.

This is the very first time I'm visiting your Web Page. I would like to let you know that perhaps I'm the only MSM user in Mexico. Before I was using CCSM from M-Global but I have to switch it out because they never kept track with the new standards set forth by the Mumps Development Cometee.
I wonder if you know who can help me about how to set up my Spanish keyboard in the right way. As soon as get into the programmer's prompt ">" my keyboard layout changes and many keys seem to be gone, like the "Ñ" and the "^" which is very used key.
I have MSM-Server for Windows 95.
I will appreciate any hint you can give me regarding this bug.

M for Mac?
I'd like to do some development at home on my Power Mac. I can't seem to find any M implementations for the Macintosh... any suggestions?

Can you direct me to best version of Mumps for Windows 95, also the best textbook to teach myself the language. I have been PICK basic/Revelation programmer for 15 years together with RPGII/COBOL.
I looked at occ.com, www.jobwarehouse.com and monsterboard.com and found a great programming job thanks for the idea.
I am working on a project to print graphical page headers through M based routines. Is is possible to draw a header in bitmap form and somehow get M to read such a file and print it properly. I have tried converting the bitmap into PCL and ftping it to a UNIX location and then calling the PCL file from the M code. (The reason I used PCL is because I have seen PCL commands written in an M routine--transferring the file to UNIX still doesn't put the PCL into an M routine so I haven't been successful using this approach). This doesn't seem to work. I would love it if someone could help me with this problem. Thank you for you assistance.

I am an M technology consultant supporting M applications in Asia-Pacific for Oil & Gas clients, and very interested in your M newsletter (I have only recently discovered your site). Could you please include my name in a mailing list for its distribution?

I was recently tasked to create a patient record database system in the Department of Otolaryngology of the Philippine General Hospital. I think the VA DHCP software using the M-language seems to be the best solution. Can you tell me how to go about installing it in a single PC (with provisions for installing it in a network)?
