I don't thing so, You need to buy a Medical Manager Windows version,
one of my client migrated from a (non-medical manager)legacy SCO UNIX
based medical practice system to medical manager Windows based system,
they didn't convert the data, so they have to start over, they are
still using the old system for historical data lookup and payment
posting, BTW they are not very happy with Medical Manager support,
sometimes they return call after one to two days.
