Medsphere Enhancements to FileMan

MSC FileMan is an extension of VA FileMan, produced for Medsphere Systems Corporation by George Timson, who was the original programmer of VA FileMan.

MSC FileMan includes all of the functionality of VA FileMan, and is designed to be backwards-compatible with any database created within VA FileMan.  Indian Health Service (IHS) and DSS mods to VA FileMan are also included here.

MSC FileMan incorporates many bug-fixes to VA FileMan, and adds significant new capabilities, including an 'internationalized' data dictionary, and a mouse-enabled ScreenMan.  The "readme.txt" file details several other enhancements.

MSC FileMan 1050/1051 corrects a number of bugs not addressed by VA FileMan,.  It also introduces two new enhancements:

1) Input, Sort and Print Templates can be designated as "CANONIC" for their files, which means that they will be prompted by the interactive FileMan dialogues as the default means of editing, sorting, or printing the entries in those files.

2) IDENTIFIER Fields can be created as 'display-only', which means that their field values will NOT be asked at the time a new Entry is being 'LAYGO'ed, but those values WILL be displayed whenever a lookup is done.
