So it is consistent with my own theory (as an outside observer) about the fundamental philosophy behind UniVerse: namely, that UV tries very hard to be forgiving and generally tries to resolve ambiguities and proceed with what it thinks the programmer meant, rather than being hard-nosed and either doing exactly what was said, or erroring out. It was consistent with UV's desire to grab market share from the other MVs as well as just Prime. Be all things to all men.
UD took a more traditional approach of insisting programmers conformed to their way. Probably makes for tighter code, but more difficult conversions from other products. Whether one considers that philosophy good or bad, depends on whether one's own philosophy and one's own circumstances. for what it's worth, Chuck Stevenson > UniData shows both conditions to be false, as does D3. > > Regards, > > LeRoy F.
