If you truly only used the 800 compilers to generate the code wait until 
you see the Series 700 compiler numbers- there are significant differences.

The ability to use the Series 800 compilers to generate perfectly usable 
code for use on the Snakes boxes gives me a good feeling.  When HP says
upward compatibility is maintained, HP means it.
