perhaps the V4 software was built with and ran on an older unix/linux distribution and would require significant work to get running on a newer server ? thats only one plausible scenario I can imagine... things like new versions of PHP or PERL or PYTHON or mySQL or ... can all interfere with application compatibility. all it takes to resolve this is a whole lot of time, which is always in short supply. _______________________________________________ Prime mailing list [email protected] http://hogranch.com/mailman/listinfo/prime
