I understand all this. However, with such an old version it's almost 
impossible to figure out what's wrong. In most cases where something 
used to work and is no longer working, it's environmental changes or 
configuration changes. Someone who says that 69/8 addresses don't work 
must have a configuration/environmental issue rather than a code issue 
but without finding the old source code, searching, building and 
deploying it, how is anyone going to know what's wrong?
