I not only had to use them, but later I actually had to fix them. I recall one
customer who had their entire operation's source code on cards in a big file
room full of those funky cabinets with the 4" drawers.
Man do I miss those days. NOT

Me too...However, I was doing that in the 1970's...Cobol & Fortran using punch
cards & card readers (who remembers those these days?). I knew people who
dropped a stack of 500 cards on the floor and spent hours putting them back in
order.

I found that out, yes. About the difference between "" and @null, I mean -
hadn't heard that about the garbage collection.
Being old (school), I have a tendency to declare variables, and initialize
them. Holdover from my early 1980s programming courses.

I believe the latest Quest versions are 1.6; the file date says 2012 ....
I still like them, and find them easier to use (if perhaps less
efficient) than the MS cmdlets. And (luckily) I haven't had a memory issue
using them, probably because I don't usually write very complicated scripts.
