Re: [U2] Universe and triggers
Because you can not create a trigger on anything that's a directory, you can not create a trigger on a multi-level file per se (since the top level is merely a directory). However there ought to be nothing stopping you creating VOC pointers to the individual Type 18 second-level files and using those pointers to create triggers. - Original Message - From: Marcos Fogaga [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: RES: RES: [U2] Universe and triggers Date: Wed, 12 Sep 2007 11:57:22 -0300 Hi Clif, My file is type 18 and it is multi data level. snip --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

Re: [U2] [OT] Primos emulator
I threw out most of my Prime manuals a few years back and, just as one might expect, almost immediately wanted one of them. I still have a few, including the Hacker's Guide to the Prime, an internal engineering manual that I probably only keep because it has my name in the Acknowledgements (though I never did work out quite what I contributed). So, a question for the die hard Primos fans Just who was Lyne Smith who manages to have a whole memory segment (2036) reserved in her name as the Lyne Smith memorial segment? Of course, those who didn't come from Prime won't have a clue what any of this is about.
