If I remember my Ocelot ran programs basically like a ladder logic  program going from line or row 1 sequentially through each row of logic commands.  Where UD devices are able to run specific rows or programs based on other programs... ie.  program b is able to run if or then sections of program a or what ever program you want to call.

Yes, with the Ocelot the "Skip to" command that was added in C-Max 2.0 allowed that kind of nested programming, where a logic test allowed you to skip over one or more logic tests. It really came a full ladder logic machine with that. I had asked Dan Smith at ADI to add that, along with the modulo math operator. Good memories of those days! With that, it became possible to script programs like the C language:

If (condition) 
     {
      If (other tests)
      Then....
      }

As I told some C programmers at the time, the "Skip to" command translates to a  "{" in C  (that skips to the matching "}"  ) if the logic test is false. The complier hides that from you!
