Abstract
Microprocessors are becoming increasingly important in the solution of many problems within the medical information field. They are suitable for use in controlling such processes as data entry and verification, stand-alone Computer Assisted Instruction, generation and testing of basic code, and as entry points to larger communication networks with shared data-bases. Because of their potential and versatility, it is desirable to implement on these microprocessors the same language that is to be used on larger members of a full scale medical information system. MUMPS is ideally suited to this environment, having been designed in such a way that it can be run on microprocessors without degradation of its string handling and file management characteristics.Our implementation approach was to adopt a machine-independent technique, using the Transition Diagram Language in which Standard MUMPS has been defined. A high level (ALGOL) driver was written for the Tdl, in which the initial output was assembly code for ...
