OK. That's fixed with v1.5A. However, I have a system where I can only go as high as v1.4 due to application validation issues.<BR /><BR />What's the impact of installing BASIC v1.4 on a 7.3-2 system without the system definitions? Am I OK as long as I'm not compiling on that system, just running an app compiled elsewhere?
