CPRS Versions
This will list links for the various CPRS versions.
version 1.0.18.2 ---> in the OR_30_125.ZIP (dated about 12/01)*Nancy has it nanthracite at verizon dot net version 1.0.19.7 ---> in the OR_30_132.ZIP (dated about 5/02)*Nancy has it version 1.0.20.21 ---> in the OR_30_148.ZIP (dated about 11/02)*Nancy has it version 1.0.22.16 ---> in the OR_30_206.ZIP (dated about 1/04)*Nancy has it version 1.0.23.15 ---> in the OR_30_187.ZIP (dated about 2/04)*Nancy and Sourceforge WorldVistA have this one version 1.0.24.26 ---> in the OR_30_190.ZIP (dated Aug 2, 2004 version 1.0.24.27 ---> in the OR_30_224.ZIP (dated Sep 3, 2004) version 1.0.25.28 ---> in the OR_30_195.zip (dated Feb 9, 2005) version 1.0.25.40 ---> in the OR_30_231.zip (dated May 6, 2005) version 1.0.25.42 ---> in the OR_30_235.zip (dated July 9,2005) Replace 1.0.25.40 with this for patient safety
To use a particular version of CPRS, the server-side software code must match. The files are found at ftp.va.gov/vista/Software/Packages/Order Entry-Results Reporting - OR/ and the source code is in the "Programs" subdirectory of this directory
Thus:
ftp://ftp.va.gov/vista/Software/Packages/Order Entry-Results Reporting - OR/
The Delphi source code for each of these (e.g. OR_30_235_SRC.ZIP) will be found in the subdirectory ...Packages/Order Entry-Results Reporting - OR/Programs/
Note: MS Explorer and Konqueror function just fine. But Mozilla & Firefox do not like the ftp://ftp.va.gov/ site; and give this error:
The FTP server 215 MSDOS A N (FTPServer V4R2 by BisonWare International) is currently unsupported.
The wget(1) utility is capable of fetching the files from this server.
'TEXT-BASED' CPRS
There is a text-based way of accessing notes etc from a console. Here is an email that describes this more.

In VistA, there is a huge menu system. These are called "OPTIONS". When one logs into VistA in a standard fashion (i.e. do ^ZU or do ^XUS), then the user is taken directly to their default menu option. Alternatively, you log in via the programmers entrancd (do ^XUP), then you are allowed to choose whatever menu option starting point you want. There are over 9,000 menu options, arrange in various heirarchies. When I was exploring this, I wrote a routine that scanned ALL the options, and put them into an HTML page in their heirarchy. You can look at this on my site: http://kdtop.vistaoffice-ehr.com On the left hand side, see a menu entry for OPTIONS FOR XUP (this is a list of the menu options and their descriptions, but not arrange in a heirarchy.), and also VISTA MENUS. This will give you an idea of what is available. You may find the menu EVE to be a good high-level menu starting point. But there are major modules that are not available even from this one. Now, with that background, the menu option that you want is: OR OE/RR MENU CLINICIAN I can do some of the things that CPRS does, but not all. My understanding is that the text-based version came first. They they were parallel for awhile. Now all new development goes into the windows GUI CPRS. Hope that helps. Kevin
