  I have been running some V.4 systems (Dell, not Univel) and have found
no ODT applications which didn't work on V.4. I doubt that Univel
removed any other the compatibility stuff since then, so I expect
compatibility to be quite good. I also found one Xenix application which
runs under V.4 which didn't run under ODT 1.1. I haven't tried it again
with current versions.

  One note, if you have stuff compiled to use the shared library it
may run better on newer versions of V.4.x, since the entry points use
the latest code.
