You had the variable "Time" which contained the system time, TIME which returned the system variable "Time" or timed an evaluation if an argument was provided. To avoid the problem and confusion, TIME() was renamed to TEVAL() so you wouldn't have Time and TIME.

So if you want the system time, use Time (the variable). If you want to time evaluation, use TEVAL().

TICKS() hasn't gone anywhere. Still doesn't show in the catalog (I thought I'd fixed that...), but TEVAL does.

From release notes:

Quote:TIME was renamed to TEVAL to avoid confusion with Time variable. Also now shows up in the catalog.

Perhaps investing in a departmental linguist would pay benefits.

An alphabet of 26 characters provides for 456,976 four character words, enough for most operating systems.

Differentiating by pronunciation would ease memory problems, ie avoid near twins like "TYME", "TIME" or "THYM".

In your example maybe "TIME" & "TVAL" would suffice?
