I've worked on the "obsolete" IBM mainframes for 30+ years. Originally 24 bit addressing; then 31 bit (yeah, 31 not 32 - weird); now up to 64 bit. An guess what? The programs that I wrote 30+ years ago in 24 bit still work correctly in today's 31 and 64 bit systems as is without recompiling. Of course, the programs don't use any of the new, fancy stuff. But they still work correctly. > -- > Regards, > Michael.j.Falconer. > -- Klein bottle for rent -- inquire within.
