Extensions have to be rewritten.  Every thing else is supposed to
work.  If you want an application to survive a crash, you have to get
an "upgraded for Copland" application.  In Win'95,  if you want to use
long file names, you have to upgrade _all_ your applications, or the
long file names get trashed by the old programs.
