Can someone confirm/clarify this statement from this recent technote: UniAdmin and the Extensible Administration Tool (XAdmin) will start udadmin_server when a user connects to a UniData server and will stop it when the user disconnects. However, it is possible to spawn the udadmin_server

WED is not an inplace full screen editor. It's merely a hyped up Notepad. Not the same thing. You cannot use WED to say Oh by the way, go grab the cross reference files and show me every OTHER program that also reads the customer file. You could however do that, with an inplace full screen

[U2] Editors and environments we like to use--digression from talking about mvToolBox.

I know several older programmers who use ED exclusively. It's incredible how quickly they can jump into code and make complex changes with just a few keystrokes. In the course of the day I use ED, a few full-screen non-gui editors (jed/vi/maybe JET or SED sometimes) and some gui editors (WED,

Whilst these editors can do it to a file in the directory, they are bypassing the record locking within UniVerse. I am playing devil's advocate, that whilst there are some things easier to do in a Gui, there are some things easier to do in a green screen editor. I jump back and forward
