RE: RISC to CISC

Art,

If they can't be saved to V3R2M0, the system will tell you.  If you save to
release V3R2M0 and everything goes well, it will be no problem.

If you do get an error telling you you can't save to a previous release,
recompile specifying V3R2M0.  If it won't even compile, it's because you're
using something that doesn't work in V3R2M0 (such as some %bifs or
something) and you may have to change the source and recompile again.

So, just try saving it first.  Start there.
