Hi Everyone,

This is a pretty big request, but I was wondering if anyone out there has a program written in C, Perl, Tcl or whatever that can be executed from the command line and will send HL7 messages from a NL delimited file and send them to the specifid host/port using the MLLP HL7 TCP protocol?

I have a bare bones shell of a C program that will connect to a host/port and send data, but I'm having trouble formatting my data into MLLP format that the HL7 interface server process will accept without errors.

Thanks so much!
Troy

For anyone interested I found a freeware Java HL7 tcp mllp sender/receiver at HL7 Comm
