To make this clear. exchange4linux is a product to let you use Outlook with an

While lxoffice is a great for of sql_ledger and caters quite well for German 
(Australian ?) IT/IS shops it is not specifically targeted at medical

Stabilize / test GNUmed with MIMS data. Negotiate an agreement with MIMS how
