Forgive me if this has already been answered. I think I remember seeing
somewhere that the version 3 engine is a complete re-write. That being
the case, is it safe to assume that based on new enhancements unique to
the version 3 engine, NASLs coded for the version 3 engine may not
always work (properly) in the version 2 engine? 

I could be completely wrong in my logic but in any case, this question
is rattling around in the back of my head. 

Thanks.
