Indeed.  My understanding is very old.  I never used any COMPAT stuff 
since it became available.  I forgot it even existed.

The only time I would ever run COMPAT is if I had a bit of software that 
couldn't be recompiled or was proprietary binary only software.  That's 
just a matter of preference.
