Running Quiz witin QTP WAS: (Anyone have Moved from VMS to WINDOWS?)

[Darren Reely]

Bob,

How does this affect Unix? I perform this action during compiling a few 
programs with no ill effect. Even in batch mode.  I do not do this 
during run time as far as I can recall.

We are using Solaris 8 and PH 8.23.D7.
