Dear netters, I'm going to help install a PC in a medical office. Could anyone with any knowledge about what might be the appropriate software for dealing with patient records, billing, ledger, database etc.etc. in a doctors office, let your recomendations be known. Or, if you know of something that absolutly should NOT be done, let me know that also; please! There seems to be such an overwhelming amount of business software available out there that it just swamps a poor techie like me. I'll take any answers on the net or email.

Funny you should ask. I just threw out a Princeton Alumni newsrag that had an article about someone who, as a high school student, wrote a package like that for his father. He got a lot of practice sounding sophisticated when he was talking to the computer experts. I do remember that the package was written in assembly language, so it should be small and fast, though not necessarily user-friendly in the way that is used these days. Any Princeton Alumus out there who hasn't thrown out the paper yet might provide more details -- especially a way to get in touch with the author of the package. -- --R. T.
