Correct. The jBASE port number is simply an identifier to identify a particular jBASE session
As a VERY simple summary, on jBASE 4.1 and above the 'next free port number is allocated to your session' The 'free ( and used ) port allocations' are maintained under the 'proc' directory ( under the 'JBCRELEASEDIR' directory ) [ So DON'T amend the contents of this directory ( as if anyone would, would they ? ;-) ) whilst any jBASE processes are currently running ] The jBASE port number does NOT have any 'connection' to a Unix / Windows port number / socket [ The jBASE port number does have similarities to the Unix 'tty device number' eg /dev/pts/7 ] Pat.
