There are a number of differences between running Unidata on Unix vs. Windows. Performance and everything else as stated not withstanding, one of the gotchas that always seems to surprise people is that on Unidata on Unix if you have a DIR-type file you can write records into it with a "*" in the name. On Windows, that write will fail. This is a particularly interesting problem with EDI, which seems to use the * in a number of contexts. Of course, the * can appear in the data just fine. It just cannot appear in the key.
I find Unix (and variant) systems significantly easier to administrate as well, with the exception of printers which can be a bit of a hassle. _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list [email protected] http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
