That would also apply to UniBasic programs that sit in tight loops, such as badly-written keystroke input routines and READU...LOCKED processing, not to mention the classic problems with manipulating large dynamic arrays. I recently worked with a customer with exactly this scenario. They were running on a dual-core system. A keyboard input routine went into a loop that simply checked whether a keystroke was pending; if not, it just went back to the top of the loop and kept looping unthrottled until something was available. It was chewing up half of their CPU capacity. When that program was running on more than one PID at a time - well there wasn't much actual work getting done on the system. Splitting up the total processor capacity among multiple units is not necessarily a bad thing. Having a small number of very fast processors allows CPU hogs to take over the system quite easily.

RE: [U2]UniData and Multithreading for udtsort.exe on Windows Server 2003
I believe you will find that this runs as a single thread, so your 25% = 100% of a single CPU - it IS "multi-processor capable" (otherwise it wouldn't run :-), but work would be required which I think IBM are unlikely to undertake.

RE: [U2] [UV] LIST.READU program
You can use the INTERNAL keyword with LIST.READU to get the results back as a dynamic array. You also might wish to index the FILEINODE and FILEDEV fields of the UNIVERSE.STAT.FILE so you can use something like SELECTINDEX in BASIC to obtain the records quickly. Using this method, it shouldn't matter if you use Windows or UNIX. Regards, LeRoy F.

Dave, Unfortunately for us who are stuck with UV your program won't work. The list.readu in UniData is much more user friendly and actually lists the file name that has the lock. UniVerse is nowhere near as friendly. It lists the INODE but not the file name. Secondly, UniVerse Basic does not have the GETREADU function. Another shortcoming of UniVerse when compared to UniData.

[U2] [UV] AIX & UNIVERSE Printing
We are running AIX 5.3 and Universe 10.1.14. I'm having a problem sharing a network printer between AIX/Universe and Windows. A particular user wants to be able to print from Windows as well as from Universe. QUESTIONS: 1.) Does the Universe spooler operate somewhat like the following from UniVerse System Administration-->: The queue connects, send a print job, and then disconnects to allows the printer to be shared by multiple clients. When one isn't printing, the others are able to connect. 2) Do you have to have "print queues" on the AIX side if you only print from Universe (JRT Spooler)? I'm willing to discuss this off-line in order not to burden the list with a specific question regarding AIX & Uuniverse.

RE: [U2] voice recognition software
Steve I've used various voice recognition packages for dictation, with varying degrees of success. Get the best quality headset you can buy: that really makes a huge difference in accuracy. One of the unsung additions to Vista is decent voice support. MS have completely rewritten their speech engine and made it into an OS level feature, so any Windows program will gain at least some level of voice recognition out of the box. This extends to a good control and command set - something missing from earlier MS offerings. There's even a reader that sounds disturbingly human - far from Microsoft Sam and Mike! >From the developers side, there is also a substantial API that can be hooked into, and a new System.Speech namespace in .NET 3. These allow you to create simple 'grammars' using an XML style approach, and to raise events when grammar keywords are recognized. It's a neater version of the current SAPI 5 libraries. Not sure how relevant that will be since you're using a packaged product: but it might be worth mentioning to your vendor. There's good reasons why developers SHOULD start thinking about speech recognition now, not least the march of disability legislation. Vista's built in voice recognition is worth a look, if you can live with the rest of it...

Re: [U2] voice recognition software
I use Nuance's Dragon Naturally Speaking Professional 9. I have used versions from release 7 on, or for about 3.5 years. The accuracy was good on 7, great on 8 and excellent on 9. It's about $99 for the SW. http://www.nuance.com/naturallyspeaking The software works in any Windows environment. I use it for e-mail responses (Lotus Notes), MS/Word document development and instant messaging. When you speak, the software responds with character streams into the box you have selected. I have not used it with any particular PC emulation software. Since it responds with character streams into the box where you are typing, I think it would work quite well with emulation SW. It takes about 10-15 minutes to train it by you reading a story (that you pick) to teach it to recognize your voice. After teaching it, you can scan documents to load words you will use. It has correction features that make it a breeze to continue to learn. I invested in a substantial headset with dual earphones and noise cancelling microphone. You can use the standard headset that is shipped with it and see how it goes. I may go Blue Tooth next time. The recognition will only work for one person's voice, on a specific soundcard and a specific microphone. If you change any of these, you have to retrain the SW to recognize it. You can even teach it commands where it remembers key strokes. So, I trained it with "Com Close" (where Com = the nonsense name I use for "command" and "close" to close the e-mail and send. "Com Open" will open a new e-mail and "Com Reply" will reply to the current e-mail open. You can even teach it commands that respond to Windows Commands. If you say "Click File", it will point and click on the first "File" button it finds. Productivity: I can speak at least 2 to 10 times faster than I can type. (I type about 80-90 words per minute). Limitations: You CANNOT use this in an area where you can't get rid of the background noise. You could try Noise cancelling headsets, but I wouldn't even attempt it on a manufacturing floor. I set up my friend who is a doctor and he has completely cancelled the contract with his dictation service. He used the medical dictionary version. The dude is a 2 finger typer - painful to watch. Very versatile software. Worth a try. Steve Stephen M.
