Hi Doug, Re the Eclipse thing, do you have any pointers or links etc for setting up eclipse in a Linux workstation environment please? Most of the stuff I've seen for U2 seems to all be windows based and I'm only knew to Eclipse as well having been a vi fan for ages. My colleague has recently introduced me to the joys of Emacs but am struggling to un-learn vi.

"BFIND" are your really serious. Is this one of those, we must us only use UniBasic code? Because if it is, we U2 programmers are really dinosaurs not knowing the comet already has changed the world. We have been using Eclipse since 2004. The search engine is so fast and will search my local machine, not the database, in seconds. The Eclipse search engine shows not only the program but the entire line that matches. You can click on the line in the search window and the editor start up and loads the program focusing on the line in question. Gee, you should wonder how Eclipse compares to a single telnet window driven program written UniBasic?
