Going down the linux route ... IBM support RedHat, so look at RHEL or CentOS. My choice would be Slackware or gentoo - not because they're better or worse distros, but because you learn a lot more dealing with their oddities. Slack is very BSD-oriented (or was), but is also very minimalist in

Hi David, Since we're on the subject of UniBasic Oddities, I was wondering how many flavors support the following syntax like my 6.0 PE edition. A = One:@VM:Two PRINT A11, 2 This compiles and prints Two. There is nothing odd about this at all. A1 is not a single construct. It is a data

Depending on undocumented behavior is usually a bad idea. Just because A0 = 'ZZZ' happens to work in this release is no guarantee that the vendor will continue to support this behavior in the future. The fact this doesn't work in other Pick flavors or variants makes me want to shy away from

Curt, Only the file server (remote) needs to be licensed for UV/NET. The client just needs uv. If you have two machines that want to access each other, then both need UN/NET licenses. If your local box is accessing a remote UV box via UV/NET, you need enough UV/NET licenses to support the

UV/NET only needs to reside on the system that you want to remotely read/write data from. For example, if you have system A and B with uv installed, and you want to read/write uv files on A from B, then UV/NET is installed on A only. If you need to do both read and write on A from B and on B from
