So what's wrong with Reduce in Mathematica 5 to get the output Element[n
| iP, Integers] && n<= iP < 1 + n?
knowing that Reduce has not been modified in Mathematica 8 so why does it give the correct output which is Element[n | iP, Integers] && iP == n?
I 'm using Mathematica 5 and I'm constrained to use it because some of my examples work on Mathematica 5 but not on Mathematica 8.
Thank you.

The output I get (with Mathematica 8) is:
In[76]:= Reduce[Element[{iP, n}, Integers] && !iP < n &&
Exists[{iPP}, iPP < n && iP == iPP + 1], {iP},
Backsubstitution -> True]
Element[n | iP, Integers] && iP == n
