New uvconfig parameters can control optional behaviour if a proposed enhancement would affect backward compatibility. That leaves it to user to decide which compatibility he wants, PI or older UV.
Thanks, Uffe, for the "QUIT" paragraph tip. Makes sense. That workaround/resolution is not mentioned in Knowledgebase. It is just left as an open ticket. Sound like a job for Mr. Dreyfuss. Thanks for the historical perspective, Glenn. cds -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Glenn Herbert Sent: Tuesday, December 07, 2004 6:11 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [U2] Universe ON.EXIT FWIW, back at rev 8.3.3 when this issue was first raised, it was decided that we could not change this behavior as it might affect existing applications already out in the field that did NOT expect the ON.EXIT to automatically run at close of a phantom. The resolution on this was that the user can simply add QUIT as the last command in their phantom, which would force the ON.EXIT to run. When this issue was again raised at 9.3.1.1, it was given as an 'enhancement', which at that time, meant you wouldn't ever see it. If we had even looked at it, we would have probably come to the same conclusion as earlier; we could NOT change behavior if it would have impacted existing applications. I know its not an answer, but it is some history on this event. I lived it! :-) Glenn ------- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
