MathGroup, If one is working in Version 4 can one write a package which Version 3 users can also use? In addition to not using Version 4 extensions, what other measures must be taken, and what procedures followed? I found that simply putting a Version 4 package.m into Version 3, among other things, causes an error because the Notebook InitializationCellLoading option of Version 3 has been changed to InitializationCellEvaluation in Version 4. There are also problems with the new subscript part index format in Version 4. Version 3 will not parse it correctly. If one is writing a package, should one convert all input cells to "InputForm"? Will this eliminate cross version parsing problems? David Park djmp at earthlink.net http://home.earthlink.net/~djmp/
