Notes:
* All @ commands in Knowledge Builder that deal with Windows text files are designed for the Windows Desktop deployment and, although they are still supported by the Ajax.net engine, great caution should be exercised when using these commands with the Ajax.net deployment as they are performed on the same web server for all users. This can create potential problems caused by the possibility of multiple simultaneous web users.
** Windows connectivity commands (for ODBC, OLE2, etc) in Knowledge Builder were designed for Windows Desktop deployment, and although they are still supported by the Ajax.net server engine, caution should be exercised when using them, as they may not be the most effective method of connectivity for web-based applications. Consider using alternative commands such as @DBCall & @URLFetch etc.
"Legacy" commands are carried from earlier versions of Knowledge Builder for the purpose of back compatibility and these should not be used for new development as they are not likely to be maintained in future.
