I'm not sure this would work, but what if you created the file as a
distributed file with 2 parts: part1 = 'public' data, part2 = 'secure'
data.
Those without security clearance would open just part1 and those with
security clearance would open the distributed file which would give them

I much prefer the multiple exit point method, it makes the code a lot
easier to read.
Prime examples are when you are looping through a file but only want to
process certain records that pass a lot of conditions, it so much easier
to test each condition individually and then RETURN immediately.

That is only true if you utilize the base BASIC code statements. Each
flavor has its own special functions and user exits, but they both contain
the same core

I like only one exit per subroutine. Deeply indented code can be minimized
by use of CASE statements and GOSUBs. Thus keeping readability and
enhancing maintainability.

AFAIK, the PE edition of universe doesn't allow you to change the telnet
port via uniAdmin. However it does use the definition in the services file
(at c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc) so it you change telnet there then
universe will use the new port.
