Or maybe you create a Quantum Leap from one account to another!?!? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Allen E. Elwood Sent: Friday, September 07, 2012 12:57 PM To: 'U2 Users List' Subject: Re: [U2] Etymology of "Q-Pointer"
another plausible possibility was that after creating the q pointer, the file had new been Queued for usage..... or perhaps the programmer that named it was hungry, and his wife was making Quiche that night..... hmmm.... that made me hungry.....! -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Wjhonson Sent: Friday, September 07, 2012 9:30 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [U2] Etymology of "Q-Pointer" Early versions of Pick did not natively have a way to reference the Master Dictionary at all. That is, you could not open the master dictionary as a file because there was no reference to it, to use as the text handle against an OPEN. This is why the MD itself had a Q pointer called MD, which just had a Q in the first field and nothing else in it. Now having an item in the master dictionary to point at itself, you can OPEN "MD" TO F.MD Q pointers do not need anything in the second field. If you only have a Q in the first field and then a name in the *third* field, then it assume you are making a "short" link (quick link) to a file with a long name. _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list [email protected] http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list [email protected] http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list [email protected] http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
