Why was it made a switch ? (pass) ------ Not all platforms supported the function but if it was not supported then it didn't use it regardless (naturally).
It was fortunate that it *was* a switch though - as there were occasional issues where you needed to turn it off (see the release notes for fixes) - however that's history. The possibility of issues may have been in the developer's minds (a guess on my part). Nowadays I would always turn it on. Shedding some (albeit dim) light in the shade.

Dreyfuss, Oliver, Wurlod, gurus all, My original request was for words of wisdom. History lessons count. The older I get, the more I value them. Thank-you. But I was more interested in the future (my own): - Why would I enable multi-threading? (UVTSORT 1) - Why would I disable multi-threading? (UVTSORT 0) - If "1" is always right, why did IBM make it configurable by the user? - What symptoms would make me suspect I have it wrong? - How would one test it? - Is there any documentation? Cherishing your every word, Chuck P.S. I'm anticipating upgrade to HP Itanium, HPUX11.23, UV 10.2.5. I assume multi-threading sorting applies there, although it wasn't stated. -----Original Message----- From: LeRoy Dreyfuss Thx Mr. Oliver. I recall our pal Pete Simonson telling me that some years ago. Just didn't want to stick my neck too far out without some caution :-) -----Original Message----- From: Clifton Oliver Yes. According to my conversations with DG, the project was referred to as "Firestorm" and had DG's affinity throughout. > Not sure, but I believe VMark had DG do the actual development for > affinity. ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
