    Yes there was. Lots of issues involved if the systems went down. I used to have the protocols in the attic someplace. I'll look up there but i haven't looked at them since i got my divorce I might just weep nostalgic.

    and yes some of my code is in there along with the equivalent of a few "goto's

    Lots of bright people worked on this and in some circumstances a "goto" is required.

    Very Good i just read some research on why container ships are now sailing at 10 knots rather than their usual 25. The research says that even some old sailing ships were faster. Everybody want's every else to drive a Prius or use solar but when ALL the costs from the front end to the back end are calculated I think most people would be surprised at the amount of wasted energy and hazardous waste people need to deal with in using these "green" products.

    Agreed XP and Vista share almost the same kernel code...almost. Which all started here... David Neil Cutler, Sr. (born March 13, 1942) is a noted American software engineer, designer and developer of several operating systems including the RSX-11M, VMS and VAXELN systems of Digital Equipment Corporation and Windows NT of Microsoft. After that, all the MS bean counters and marketing people took over....such a shame... as i coded some drivers for Rockwell and their VMS systems. Cutler was one smart cookie and one hell of a team manager. EOF
