Guest guest Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 Hi Rizwan AOMNC is presently reviewing RMHI software for a special project and we find it outstanding as to its content. As Phil clearly states....price is relative to work done and work needed to arrive at a certain place. Regards, Richard A.

Yes, I find that it has a most impressive amount of data on TCM Syndromes, single herbs, and formulas. The software is relatively easy to use and has powerful search facilities. It also has a very clever system of self-assessment of one's TCM knowledge (or lack of it!). Also, improvements are planned for the next release later this year. > And do you think its worth the price? Thanks Regards Rizwan Kherati > PhD It is hard to answer that. Amassing the huge amount of data needed for good TCM software takes many years of hard work. The authors of good TCM software deserve reasonable payment for that work. Yes, the price of the RMHI software may be regarded as high for professionals on low incomes, but the alternative - buying several books and trying to extract and integrate data from hardcopy - also has its price in money and (more especially) in professional time.
