We have ported an open source (GPL/LGPL)
compiler for the Mumps language to the
DJGPP compiler under Windows XP.  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).

Copies of the binary build in zip format as well
as the full source code are available at:
