I don't have a lot to add right now as I've only skimmed over this, but I agree with those who say this is what the industry has been going towards. Actually, I think BMC (or actually Remedy) should be complimented for how much backwards compatibility they have maintained over the years. I started out with version 3, and although I haven't tried it, I bet if I imported a DEF file from the 3.x days, it would work in 7.1 (minus macros, etc.) Microsoft basically abandons the last version of their software just before the new version comes out. I think it's great that BMC tries to keep things compatible.

My first posting was just a welcome, but folks may be more interested in my latest posting as it talks about a compatibility support change considered for AR System 7.5.00. http://developer.bmc.com/communities/blogs/david_easter/2008/09/25/a-higher-calling-in-ar-system-7500 I encourage you to take a look at it and comment - either positively or negatively. I (obviously) think the change is a win-win for everyone, but confirmation with the user base is always a good thing. Thanks, -David J.
