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.

They are: || Vendor || Implementation || || Intersystems || Cache || || Fidelity || GT.M ||
