The port also includes a toolkit of C++ classes to provide a Mumps-like personality for C++. Mumps is a language that was developed in the late 60's for applications in medicine, which is still its primary base of use. The VA Vista system, one of the largest in the world, is based in Mumps. Mumps is a very simple, string handling language which features an easily used multi-dimensional data base. The system has been available under Linux for several years. The Linux configuration of the code supports 64 bit file addressing which brings me to a question: is 64 bit addressing possible and how so using DJGPP on Windows XP? The present port is limited to 32 bit addressing (2gb max file size).
