This message gets posted about every other month by someone somewhere 
around the world.  There are lots of ways to find out about available 
vertical market programs for the Macintosh.

1) Go to any authorized dealer and ask them to use Applelink to find a 
listing.  There is a section on Applelink devoted to third-party products 
which contains names, addresses, and brief descriptions of each of the 
products.

2) Any Apple Field Engineer has a CD-ROM called the Apple Reference & 
Presentations Library which contains (among other things) a listing of 
2,067 different third party products.  In the area Health Services-Medical 
it includes 55 products.

3) Several quarterly magazines contain large lists of vertical third-party 
products.  I have an old copy of MacGuide, but there are several other 
magazines in this field.
