Absolutely. One of my primary activities since the first of the year was 
delivering technical presentations to the U2 support engineers and sales 
engineers - world-wide. In addition to that, I've been writing. The following 
Rocket Tech Notes have been published in the Rocket Solutions portal (entitled 
access). There are a few more out for review and editing that will be published 
before I leave. 

UDT-9311: Debugging UniData UNIX Segmentation Violations  Core Dumps
UDT-22: UniData Data Replication Operations Guide v4.1
UDT-9507: Detecting and Repairing UniData File Corruption
UDT-9509: Understanding and correcting the memresize error: overflow file is 
goo big(2G) in mem_get_blk()

Just had my 22nd anniversary with UniData / Ardent / Informix / IBM / Rocket. 
It has been a rewarding run.

Hi Wally,
That's great but what about UniVerse internals as well?

2013-03-06 Thread Allen Elwood (TW)


it was a great run for me while it lasted.

i too spent 22 years with pick/unidata and a total of 32 years programming.

alas it seems the hypothyroidism, too many injuries, anaphylactic 
allergies to perfume that actually have me carrying around an epi-pen 
where ever i go, prostate cancer and the after effects of that surgery 
including diverticulosis have left me unable to perform to the degree 
necessary to program.


i cannot use my right hand to type at all anymore because of frozen 
shoulder and smashed cartilage in my middle knuckle so i type with just 
my left hand - very slowly and don't bother trying to use caps.


but like the old mill horse that still walks in circles all day in the 
green pasture of retirement, i still get this list and read most posts.


that and i like to 'hang out' at the vintage amps forum since i can, and 
do make recreations of vintage guitar tube amplifiers.


for any others of you that know that tube amps just blow away solid 
state, and love guitars this is a great place with incredible experts on 
music gear, and is an international forum with members in just about 
every country on the planet.

i'll go back to lurking again now.  carry on.  as you were!

pip pip, cheerio lads!
