2894.0. "V2.2 .vs. V2.4 NETWORK.DAT" by GLDOA::FINKELSTEIN () Mon Jun 21 1993 19:33

    Are the V2.2 and V2.4 NETWORK.DAT record layouts identical?
    
    Thanks...

2894.1Just curious? or something elseAIMTEC::WICKS_AU.S.A 2 England 0 - I was there!Mon Jun 21 1993 20:2110
    David,
    
    Why?
    
    V2.2 is as I'm sure you know long retired so I can't be sure but I don't
    recall the file changing since v2.0
    
    Regards,

    My customer is running ALL-IN-1 V2.4 on multiple nodes and V2.2 on a
    small uVAX.  I am just curious...

2894.3Zippers?BRUMMY::MARTIN::BELLMartin Bell, NTCC, Birmingham UKTue Jun 22 1993 16:258
If i remember correctly, somewhere between the two versions, and possibly
in the UK only version, a couple of fields got "swapped" accidentally
(i think while changing Zip Code to Post Code), and some fix had to be
applied when upgrading.

Aside from the "swap", i think that the rest remained the same.

2894.4English dialect of American bug!AIMTEC::WICKS_AU.S.A 2 England 0 - I was there!Tue Jun 22 1993 17:3011
    
    Martin,
    
    It was only in the U.K (and in only in England I suspect since Welsh
    Scottish and Irish would have been languages not dialects of AMerican)
    
    It's in STARS.
    
    regards,

2894.5$ CMS SET LIB....IOSG::PYEGraham - ALL-IN-1 Sorcerer's ApprenticeTue Jun 22 1993 18:408
    David,
    
    If you are more than curious (and can we quote you on that? :-) ) I can
    pull the two versions of the forms out of CMs and you can check.
    Unfortunately I don't have acess to the V2.2 British kit, so if that's
    what you've got...

2894.6GLDOA::FINKELSTEINTue Jun 22 1993 20:287
    I was hoping that this was an easy question to be answered.  Thanks for
    everyone's response.  I'll ask the customer for accounts on both
    ALL-IN-1 systems and compare the record layouts.  It will take longer
    than checking the source code, but now I'm more than just curious...
    
    David
    
2894.7Good Idea to check at the "source" :-)IOSG::PYEGraham - ALL-IN-1 Sorcerer's ApprenticeWed Jun 23 1993 10:175
    Since there's obviously some cause for concern in someone's mind, then
    you're right to check on the customer's system, in case some sort of
    customisation has been done.
