The obvious problem is that your old programs will access the 6.0 engine via a relay module. This will be slower than using the direct access methods available (as standard) using I4GL 6.0. > There is an excellent chance that quite a few of our programs > will fail to compile successfully. I'm puzzled -- unless you've got something very weird in the code, the 6.00 I4GL compiler will compile anything the 4.1x compiler does, and vice versa. Are you sure?
