Appendix A: Backward Compatibility
ALK Technologies does support backward compatibility with previous
versions of PC*MILER and PC*MILER for the AS/400. However, it is not
advisable to develop new applications that use these short city name
structures, because you lose access to county information which is
necessary for resolving duplicate city name problems. Over time, this
backward compatibility becomes increasingly difficult for ALK
Technologies to maintain. Future backward compatibility is not
guaranteed.
If you would like more information about backward-compatible formats,
please contact the ALK technical support staff (see Chapter 10).
