I was involved with a company that ran Ultimate on a pc. The pc used the

no compatibility issues (any hard drive that ran on the pc ran for us, too,

Ah, I didn't expect UV and UD to behave differently in that manner.
It would be interesting to found out what precedence that check in the

Does it not check within the same BP file as the calling routine first; as
cataloging is not then necessary?

Development doesn't necessarily equate to innovation.
U2 is under constant development, but I wouldn't count much of it as
innovation, just (slowly) trend following.

Only in part. Intersystems has many developers, all developing away. I'm trying
not to sound like an advertisement here--just making the point that innovation
is actively happening on at least 1 mv platform.
