Cliff, From what I see, the base image3.ijs, with very minor changes, should work in either J7_32 or J6_32. I was able to get html_gallery8.ijs to also work fine in J7 with minor changes. view_m.ijs and prevare.ijs are wd (J6) specific.
I've gotten all of the image3 lab, with the exception of prevare, working in JHS. The image3html lab also works fine in JHS, with the exception of the last demo of prevare. It looks like image3movie will take one minor change to work in JHS. Prevare and view_m are wd apps and will only work in J6. It is always a debate about how much to have version-specific copies of code vs. having the code adapt to various versions. I think most of image3 is very close to working in J6 wd and J7 JHS. To me, it would make sense to have unique, version specific scripts for prevare and view_m and keep the remaining scripts as single scripts. Since the install process for J7 labs is different than J6, it probably make sense to have J7 specific labs. What issue are you seeing with the J6 install?
