I'm glad to see Nat saying that it is not true.  It simply would not be
in the spirit of the Apollo machine.  Anything written for one machine
will run on any other machine Apollo has ever made (except, of course,
programs compiled to take advantage of special hardware).

This is really impressive; especially when you look at companies like
Symbolics that just released a "Genera" that was not upwardly compatible
or Sun that keeps seperate directories around for the 68010 and the
68020.
