1529.0. "UIL differences between VMS and Ultrix" by PDVAX::P_DAVIS (Peter Davis) Wed Oct 04 1989 16:59

    For grins, I tried copying the DECW$EXAMPLES:HELLOWORLD.UIL file to an
    Ultrix system (UWS 2.1) and compiling it there with dxuil.  It got two
    errors:
    
                        label_label = compound_string('Hello', separate=true)&
                                                               *
    Error: unexpected NAME token seen - parsing resumes after ";"
                     line: 41  file: helloworld.uil
    
    
    These appeared to arise from the 'separate=true' attribute in
    several of the compound strings.  Removing these allowed it to compile
    ok.
    
    Is this an acceptable, documented difference between VMS and Ultrix
    UIL?
    
    Thanks.

    The "separate=true" option is new in DECwindows V2.  I don't know
    if UWS 2.1 is at that "level".

    Re .1:

    Steve is right: UWS 2.1 is pretty much DECwindows V1; UWS 2.2 (now
    Field Testing) is pretty much DECwindows V2 with some other stuff not
    yet available on VMS.
