Re: some questions

No, Charmer is absolutely not required to run GIFT. It is one of the 
many clients for the MRML protocol you could use and it is the oldest 
one, so it might even be hard to make it work.

The link for the GIFT demo is indeed wrong and not working any more.

There is a demo for a medical database with GIFT working at:
http://medgift.unige.ch/demo/
