LardyBoyUK LardyBoyUK Lurker Registered: 2002-12-06 Posts: 3 Loc: Leeds, UK	I'm upgrading from KiXtart 95 V3.51 to KiX2001 V4.12. I'm concerned that the my existing scripts may not work under V4.12. Are there any major changes between the engines which may cause problems? Is V4.12 fully backwards compatible?

Also, you can still use your old scripts by using e.g. KiXtart 4.12 for the login script only and an older KiXtart version to call the older scripts. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.
