On the same machine, OS 10.5.5, I'm running 4D 2004.7r3 and v11.3 side
by side.

Current machine owner gives the following:

2004:   jebowen           -- the Unix (Darwin)
"short name"

v11:     John Bowen     -- the Unix (Darwin) "long name"

Nothing fatal, I think, just that it wasn't mentioned in the docs or

addenda, far as I can tell. The text in the "long name" is, well, a

little longer. For those logging events to a file, etc., it's just

something to consider. For those who used the short form name in

exports, as a folder name with bash scripts, as part of a URL, etc.,

etc., it might pay to keep an eye out. For instance, O'Neill has an

apostrophe, as it should; not sure what the short form would be.

The short name was not only short, but guaranteed to be pretty

friendly, as in it did not contain spaces, apostrophes, periods . . .

OK, that's the owner. Anyone have any thoughts on the Current machine
function?

Thanks,

John

John,

I just ran a test on my system, and I get the same values for both of
these

commands:

    Current Machine Owner = Windows Login Name (steveo)

    Current Machine = Windows PC Network Name (SJO-AWLaptop)

In both 2004 and V11 the same value is returned, as shown above.

Steve
