- Mumps is indeed a hospital oriented language. I don't speak mumps, but I
- know that it is a standardized (I believe ANSI!) language. As far as I
- know, it is still being used. Versions for several OS-es are available,
- even for MSDOS. possibly you can contact ANSI for more info (if it is
- indeed an ANSI standard language).

- Hope this helps...
