In unosc.prg, new default for _dokje (_WhileIs) is now Key(), so it'll break only if there's a group input without any active index. For that case, I put _dokje=".t." :) (i.e. forever). Added the ability to refuse to add any records if it was compiled as a demo, and the record count exceeds the demo allotment (which was, IIRC, 1000 records).
Later I changed this to check the checksum of few global variables, namely those with the name and address of the company, and if the checksum fits, it's not a demo - that was an add-on in defg.prg. I really hated the very idea of having different versions of the app, even if it took only a change of one option and recompiling. It's an invitation to disaster, as Murphy would always be at hand to help you pack the wrong version when you needed it most.
Around this month the issue of Lena's third tonsil occurred. About this we couldn't possibly agree (v. 14-X-2025.) on the year, could be between 1994 and 1996 - the next year she was in kindergarten, then school. Since I visibly remember being in the hospital, the lobby, the building (the one behind the old maternity ward, followed by the low rise lab building... though, considering how many times I was in the hospital, it was mostly the surgery building, but the side entrance into the basement, where the transfusion was, or the accounting or the back building where the headquarters of the new hospital construction was, doing HosTract and other greenery. As a patient I was there only once, march of 1980, and even that was nothing; I never nighted there nor was ever cut open), so I guess I was already done with Hungary, so it must have been now.
So... Ever since we got her into the obdanište (right behind the local [community centre]), she'd get ill of something every now and then. This time it was the middle ear inflammation, and they said the solution is to remove the third tonsil. I'm not a doctor and wouldn't even know where to look, but you are, you say. And she agreed, so it was three trips - once to get the paperwork prepared and the appointment, once to go get it done and stay the night with mom, who stayed with her until wee hours and then went home to get some sleep. Third time it was me alone, before she woke up, went to check on her and get the release paper and drive her home.
So, one of those trips - in her version, she met Anđa there on the way in or out, and in mine I met her in the lobby the third time, while I was waiting for the release to be written. In my version, we were there in the waiting room, chatting, she was with one of the children, guess the daughter, and I told her why I was present, and there she goes flat out with „third tonsil, a good idea!“. She really still imaigines herself a conesseur of medicine.
The surgery, as it were, was routine, and we remember this pearl more often than the surgery itself.
