THIS VERSION OF MUMPS AND VA FILMAN ARE IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN.

SETMUMPS.EXE SETS THE PATHWAY FOR THE ROUTINES AS C:\MUMPS\ROUTINES.LIB
AND THE GLOBAL STORAGE PATHWAY IS C:\MUMPS\GLOBALS.DAT.
YOU CAN CHANGE IT IF YOU LIKE.
  
NOTE: I MADE A CHANGE IN THE ORIGINAL FILE STRUCTURE BY COMBINING ALL
THE ROUTINES IN FMGRIN07, FMGR07, AND ROUTINES.RTN INTO ROUTINES.LIB.

THEY WERE SEPARATED TO BE ABLE TO FIT ONTO FLOPPYS.  I INCLUDED THEM IN CASE
SOMEONE WANTED THE FRUSTRATION OF USING THE ZOPTION COMMAND IN MUMPS TO SELECT 
BETWEEN THEM.  

I DELETED THE ORIGINAL GLOBALS.DAT AND REPLACED IT WITH A 
VERSION LARGE ENOUGH FOR USING FILEMAN, FOR MOST HOME APPLICATIONS.  
IF YOU NEED MORE SPACE USE SETGLOB TO CREATE A GLOBAL, THEN USE 
SETMUMPS TO SET THE GLOBAL PATHWAY, THEN IN MUMPS ISSUE THE 
COMMAND DO ^DINIT TO CREATE THE GLOBALS NEEDED FOR FILEMAN.

THERE IS PLENTY OF DOCUMENTATION BUT THERE IS AN ASSUMPTION THAT YOU KNOW 
HOW TO PROGRAM IN MUMPS.

IF YOU WANT TO JUST USE MUMPS TO RUN FILEMAN YOU CAN USE THE AUTO EXECUTE
OPTION OF SETMUMPS TO RUN THE COMMAND "D ^DI" TO AUTOMATICALLY RUN 
FILEMAN WHEN TYPE IN MUMPS.EXE <return>

OR YOU MAY LEAVE SETMUMPS AS IS AND TYPE IN MUMPS <return> and when 
you have the ">" PROMPT GIVE THE COMMAND: D ^DI <return>  (WHICH WILL CALL
UP FILEMAN.)

TO USE SOME OF THE ADVANCED FEATURES OF FILEMAN (THAT IS TO PUT 
FILEMAN IN PROGRAMMER MODE) AT THE ">" PROMPT GIVE THE COMMANDS: 
S DUZ(0)="@" THEN D ^DI 

(FILEMAN DOCUMENTATION WILL ELABORATE.)

THE DOCUMENTATION FOR FILEMAN CAN BE BEST OBTAINED BY PRINTING OUT
"FILEMAN.DOC" AT THE DOS LEVEL.  

IF YOU WANT TO LEARN MUMPS PROGRAMMING, BUY A BOOK OR CHECK ONE OUT 
FROM THE LIBRARY.  THE INCLUDED DOCUMENTATION IS HELPFUL BUT NOT COMPLETE.

FILEMAN IS THE BEST RELATIONAL DATABASE AVAILABLE PERIOD.  IT WAS 
DESIGNED TO BE FRIENDLY HELPFUL TO THE END-USER.  

ANOTHER RESOURCE IS M-TECH (FORMERLY MUMPS USERS GROUP) AT (301)431-4070
THEY OFFER REDUCED RATES FOR STUDENTS BUT PROGRAMS AND BOOKS ARE 
STILL NOT FREE.
