Basically, the road ahead is wide open and the future is bright. I've heard good things about Reality. They seem to be making a comeback. That would be an easy move. jbase has a reality emulation and was written by microdata people. Both universe and unidata have reality/microdata flavors.

From: Ed Clark With all those options, there's no reason to consider D3 if you rely on PQN procs. I'll agree with all of Ed's other comments - except that one. You can get RPL for D3, which is essentially compiled PQN. All of your F-OPEN, F-READ, and /!/%/# buffers are there, plus more. So

I don't think I've ever seen that reported on Windows. Typically - the sbcs daemon (Shared Basic Code Server) is not running. On Windows, literally sbcs.exe. It could also indicate a problem with Windows memory mapped files - that we've used to mimic UNIX shared memory as well as message queues.
