My sales update from Apollo says:
"...the Series 10000 is source-code and binary data compatible with
Apollo's entire product family..."

This means that use need to recompile programs, but that you don't
need to recreate data files, repopulate databases, and other data-oriented
operations.  I hope this clears things up.
