- David,
-
- 4D 3.0 will run 4D 2.x databases with minimal conversion effort. The major
- problems occur with externals that may not be compatible with 4D 3.0.
-
- However, 4D 3.0 is a completely different animal. It has its own
- multi-tasking kernels--you can have multiple asynchronous
- processes running, and multiple active windows open.
-
- Best regards,
