(long) Message-ID: <8908181150.AA07359@expire.lcs.mit.edu> Date: 18 Aug 89 11:50:25 GMT References: <1702@bacchus.dec.com> Sender: daemon@bloom-beacon.MIT.EDU Organization: The Internet Lines: 12 R4 is fully source compatible with R3, both for widgets and applications, is binary compatible for sources (i.e. you don't have to recompile to relink), and is even binary compatible for widgets if you've been sufficiently careful. Paul is putting words in my mouth, promising things he can't personally guarantee, which is a no-no. What is true is that this is a major requirement for the Intrinsics within the Consortium, and the current draft of the revised Intrinsics attempts to satisfy it. But review within the Consortium is not yet complete, nor proof of concept, and there is still a public review to come, and R4 is not out yet.
