There is a good article on Wikipedia about MUMPS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MUMPS

Implementations and Vendors

It is important for new people to know the difference between the language and the implementation of the language. Vendors sell implementations of MUMPS. In the process, they are allowed to add commands, functions, and special variables to their implementation of the language. This does not increase what is in the language, but simply in their product.

Currently there are several active Vendors of MUMPS, and MUMPS-like languages.

A partial list includes:

MUMPS implementations
Vendor Implementation
Intersystems Cache
Fidelity GT.M

If we think we need more details, we should add them here.
