PanelBuilder Development Software has been upgraded four times: in
version 2, version 3, version 4 and now version 5.
As long as only the original objects and original features are used, your
application file will run on all PanelView terminals. If version 2 objects are
used in your application, the application will run on version 2, 3, 4 and 5
terminals, but not on version 1 terminals. If version 3 objects are used in
your application, it will run only on version 3, 4 and 5 terminals. Version 4
objects run on version 4 and 5 terminals. Enabling any of the new objects
in version 5 will make your application compatible with version 5
terminals only.
