Until this pops up again in another 12 years . . . This "never-expiring" timer is just being used to feed a record to GATE to shut everything down when PIPMOD STOP is issued. The most straightforward replacement I see is an IMMCMD stage with a command that can never actually be entered at the console (so it can't usurp any other IMMCMDs or console input): /* Impose end of stream on loop connections at PIPESERV end */ pip01 = , '\ immcmd' '1d1d1d1d'x , /* Wait forever for untypable command */ '| append literal', /* Dummy record on ending */ '| g: gate' /* Cut input streams */ Naive question: What would it take for DELAY to take advantage of Extended-TOD-Clock to push this problem out a few millennia? ¬R
