could we clarify what would actually "break"?
and would that be such a terrible problem?

personally, i dont really care that much about old orcs/scos
of mine -- in fact i would say whenever i have tried to render
some of my old scores (done around version Csound 2.0 ),
 70% of them were "broken" anyway due to changes in Csound 
itself..

i dont know about others, but for some reason it really bugs me
to have to use "reverb2" instead of "reverb", "diskin" instead of
"soundin" and (now) "rand2" instead of "rand"  (not to mention kdumps
1-4)

but then again, it sucks to have to say "outs" instead of "out" even
when you specifiy nchnls in the header..

more and more reasons to move to object oriented/real-time/SOAL-like
"Dsound"...
