Anybody that's done HL7 integration work has need of a program that can emulate a remote system for testing. Other programs have built in testing functionality (for example, my HL7 Browser), but none that I have ever found could also be distributed as a stand-alone network client for remote sites and vendors that don't have integration software, and that will run everywhere java runs. This software aims to fill that void.
This version of HL7 Comm will be available at my website, http://nule.org/software/ for as long as people find it useful. You may distribute this program and it's source code under the terms of the GNU Public License, version 2. I would also appreciate mention in your documentation if you use the code for anything, and if you're making lots of money off of it, I'd like some of that too.
A copy of the GNU Public License is available on GNU's website at http://www.fsf.org/, and is also available in this help documentation under the license section.
