I am working with a customer that has some old VAX Pascal code that we are trying to convince them to migrate to an alpha system. They haven't touched the code since they tried to migrate from VAX Pascal V3.6 to V4.0 a long time ago. They weren't able to compile with V4.0 due to naming conflicts. They use the same name for procedures, environments, and global record definitions. They saw this as a bug in V4.0, but I see it as enforcing something that V3.6 let go. Will this naming conflict still a problem in V5.5?

Uh, what naming conflict? Can you give me a small example?

Its been a while since they tried to upgrade to V4.0, so they were not able to give me the error messages. The example that they gave me had the procedure named MOVER and an environment file named MOVER.PEN. When MOVER.PEN is inherited, the conflict occured. I don't know PASCAL, I am passing on what the customer told me. Does this make sense? | |||||

That isn't enough information to tell anything. They will have to give
me some more details before I can figure anything out.
