I need help, my knowledge is outdated...

[Leav]

I have been out of the FIRST programming scene for a year and things have moved on

I'd appreciate if you could answer these questions so I can get up to speed on some issues were having.

I will be referring to these quotes in my question:

NOTE: To Compile 2004, 2005 or 2006 code, use MPLAB ver 7.20 and C18 Compiler ver 2.40 (newer versions can not be used)

and

Notice: The new FRC Robot Controller is not compatible with pre-2004 Operator Interfaces. The Operator Interfaces is also not compatible with pre-2004 Robot Controllers.

My questions:

1. Is the 2006 RC compatible with 2007 code?
2. is the 2007 code compatible with the latest c18 (i.e. newer than 2.4) and mplab (i.e. newer than 7.2) ?
3. should I insist on installing to the default C drive? will switching drives cause problems?
4. Basicly if I can use the 2007 code on a 2006 RC, what versions should I install?

That's It for now but i'm sure i'll have more later....

thanks!
