“As for the language incompatibility, does this mean that Magic and FS will still store data in a similar way? IE can I layer the new app code on top of my old array without changing the data structure?”

I’m not entirely sure what you are talking about, but I’m pretty confident the answer is no.

Thanks for clearing this up. I must have mis-interpreted the “speculate that MUMPS equates with Magic” statement. Sometimes it’s hard to understand tone or inflection on the internet.

As for the language incompatibility, does this mean that Magic and FS will still store data in a similar way? IE can I layer the new app code on top of my old array without changing the data structure?

Sorry if I’m talking GT.M/Cache talk, it’s what I am most familiar with.

Just to be clear, I meant no compatibility between the Magic and FS LANGUAGES.

“but the MUMPS – MIIS – Magic genealogy is well documented. For BostonHITman to suggest otherwise damages his creditability”

No one has denied the MUMPS – MIIS – Magic genealogy. What he, and I, have said is that they’re not the same language.

By the way, there is no compatibility between Magic and FS.
