 '''The -x23 Compiler Flag'''
-For backward compatibility purposes, DAC provided the compiler flag -x23 (i.e. "dfcomp source.src -x23") for compiling programs as if they had been compiled in 2.3b. This flag was provided until revision 3.04 to allow time for developers to bring their existing programs up to date. Most of the changes in DataFlex that are outlined in this paper and affect existing 2.3 DataFlex code were made to DataFlex with revision 3.0, in about 1990. At some point, a choice must be made between backward compatibility and progress, and as of revision 3.05, the -x23 flag is no longer supported, so you must make the appropriate source code changes to existing DataFlex 2.3 programs.
