For some reason either Universe on Windows does this, or are particular users are doing something where a large number of processes are left "running dead" on the Windows server. That is, the process *claims* to be a telnet process, but it's not actually attached to any live Universe proces

I may be sending you down the wrong road, but, these thoughts came to mind. I've never done it in Windows, but, I've had a little experience doing it in Linux. In Linux, and I may be wrong... but, I think the way it works is that the telnet or ssh process is the parent process. So the uvsh proce

Sorry but I always thought iterpolation means describing a mathematical function like Y=2X for instance by producing a graph from it or describing key parameters in a system of coordinates (x,y) like where it crosses the y- or x-axis, if it rises or falls and in which degree etc. . On 24/0

If the goal is to generate several variables by building variable names in a loop from text, like you can do in UNIX script, PERL, PHP, etc. I don't think you can do that in UniBasic. There nearest thing I can think of is to use a dynamic array. Maybe I am misunderstanding what you are trying

The OP is describing an "evaluate" function that executes code on the fly based on variable values. See JavaScript's eval() function for a similar concept. For example, maybe I have some variables like WIDGET and EVENT, and I want to dynamically generate the label to an internal subroutine: EVAL

Oops there's a bug. Right after the line that starts OFFSET += 1 should be yet another OFFSET += 1 so the corrected version should read IF VERB = 'RUN' OR VERB = 'RAID' THEN OFFSET += 1 ; N.FILE = FIELD(SENT,' ',OFFSET) OFFSET += 1 END ELSE OFFSET += 2 ; N.FILE

So what exactly do you mean by interpolation? If you google "variable interpolation" you can find a bunch of examples from other languages, such as: for($i=1;$i<=15;$i++) { ${'test_'.$i} = $i; } There's nothing like this in any mv implementation that I know of. In mv you would probably us
