Jeff There was a problem when GUIDE came out on 5.2 specifically (a totally new build of GUIDE that allowed concurrent processing of the file). The old version of GUIDE was included as guide_51 as a fallback or you could disable the new feature by running the new GUIDE with the -Z1 option if necessary.
This was addressed as you say in a later release, but using the old GUIDE (guide_51) or using the -Z1 option would have been OK as well - you just couldn't run it concurrently with other access to the file(s) - this was therefore as per previous usage. Lots of people renamed the guide executable to guide_52 and also copied guide_51 to guide to avoid issues and having to remember the -Z1 option. ______________________________________________________________________ Issue 5623 - Problem Description -------------------------------- UniData -- Prior to this release, if you executed the guide utility against a dynamic file that was being aggressively updated, the file became corrupt. This problem has been resolved. _______________________________________________________________________ There have been a few other fixes but nothing as significant.
