Title: Does MUMPS (a/k/a "M") for Amiga exist?
Post by: Rabbi on January 29, 2015, 06:26:44 PM

I've been wanting to play around with Open Source VistA for my own personal edification and was wondering if a port of the MUMPS language exists for the classic Amiga?  All I found in my searches was this:

I know that there was even a version of MUMPS for CP/M:

Does anyone know anything about MUMPS for our classic Amigas (NTSC A1200 & A4000)?

Also, LUA is getting long in the tooth.  Any possible updates for that?

The only reference I can find is for CCSM (Comp Consultants Standard MUMPS) from Eclectic Systems Corp. which was available for the Commodore SuperPet in the early-mid 80's. No mention of a Commodore version for any hardware after that.

Time for a port?  http://sourceforge.net/projects/mumps/

Should be easy. Lua 5.3.0 recently came out, and compiles properly with SASC. Can't be hard to run it anywhere if it compiles with such an old compiler.
