Hi,

I'm thinking of moving to R4 from R3.  However, I've many applications
built/installed under R3 (e.g. GNU Emacs 18.55, xdvi, Saber-C, ...etc..) and I
really don't want to touch them otherwise I'll need to rebuild/reinstall a
*lot* of stuff.

Can anyone give me any advise on this (like things to avoid/workarounds) ?

(Maybe I should wait a little more till more bugs are discovered ?).

Thanks very much.
