Like us, you might have gone through a period where you are working with VAX
but some of your customers have gone ahead to Alpha, or the current
situation where we now have Alpha but some of our customers use VAX. This is
something that has been going on for years but hasn't caused a problem with
compatibility. Even though we stress the need for the Powerhouse version to
be the same, there have been circumstances where even this hasn't been
necessary (710G v 710G1).

The only issue we've had is where the version of Powerhouse requires a
minimum version of VMS, and in these circumstances the customer has needed
to upgrade VMS.
