The 1.2 and 1.3 versions of Resident are compatible :-)
(as is the MCC Shell version)

Actually, we don't really need compatibility between the user level
'resident' type commands...as long as they work together, who really
cares what list they are stored on in memory ?

If, however, it takes work on the part of the programmer (special
entry points, etc) then we do need a standard.
