This code is provided AS-IS.  This is code that I use at my facility, but I make no guarantee 
as to its suitabilty to other situations, or to the soundness of the coding practices user herein.

Note on Coding Style:
1. I use upper and lower case characters in my variable names.  This is not according to VA
   standards (SAC), but it should not cause any problems or name-collisions because I typically
   do not make use of (with rare exceptions) global-scope variables.  Also, I routinely NEW my 
   variables before use, so they will go out of scope quickly.
   
2. I use variable names with length > 8 characters.  But I always make sure the first 8 characters are
   unique.  I feel this aids readability.
   
3. I spell out the full name of functions (e.g. $piece(), not $P() ).  This may take some getting used 
   to for those not used to this, but I think it is better.  :-)
   
4. I try to document each function directly after the declaration of the function name.

5. My style is to be as modular as possible.  I prefer to separate user interface with underlying
   code where possible (within reason).
   
6. At the beginning of each file, I list available public API calls.  There are also private API calls, 
   listed, but I doubt anyone would want to use them.
   
   
PROGRAMS OF INTEREST

1. The GT.M debugger can be launched via: do ^TMGIDE

2. XML Exporter can be lauched via: do EXPORT^TMGXMLEX
