The question of whether or not to up grade a ROM operating system so that old
programs work is delicate. Many users would like to beable to up grade to
remove bugs in their operating system without losing the ability to run their
old comerical programs. Their needs should be balanced aagainst the
difficulty (or impossibility) of fixing the bugs while still being able to
run old programs. The benefit of each change needs to be compared with the
trouble it causes users of old programs. For the most part, people who write
their own programs like improvement, but people who buy programs like
stability. I do both myself, so I feel for the people that have to decide
what to do in each particular case.
