1. 3.1.1 backwards compatibility

Forked from Re: Wrapping a C library.

I've noticed a few posts recently where a person stated that they can't use a piece of 4.0 code because they are working with a 3.1.1 application or library.

If the main reason is that the person has only 3.1.1 installed and doesn't want to install 4.0 along side it, then that is understandable.

My question is whether there are specific issues or problems in trying to run 3.1.1 code with 4.0. DOS code won't work, but is there anything else?

(I know we have new keywords in 4.0 that can conflict with variable/routine names used in 3.1.1 code, but we also have an automatic translator to deal with that.)

I didn't know that, where can I find the translator?
