Hi,
Is there a way to have the 'real' v1 uil compiler available
under v5.3 of vms ? Because compiling /VERSION=V1 on a v5.3
system produces UID-files which are useless on v5.2 and v5.1
machines (yes I know what you are thinking... but try to
understand that I need to be able to run v5.3 but still
produce UID files for 'older' systems without compiling
the UIL-files on the 'older' systems...).
Anyway something that is not really clear to me: if I
compile my UIL-file /VERSION=V1 , is it supposed to 'run'
on v5.2 (or v5.1) machines ? or are there (documented)
restrictions ?
Thanks.
Dirk.

Other than using a v5.2 compiler? No!!

The V1 switch allows you to compile strings with /n into compound
strings. Nothing more nothing less. Any uid file compiled with a V5.3
compiler is going to work on V5.3, but may not work on a prior version.
