'they' want the new box to have exact same versions of software to one 
that recently died. I am afraid its as simple as that and at the moment 
i can't change that. If i can prove that it is not possible then i may 
be able to change versions somewhat but i need to attempt to get this 
working first.

thanks for your input regarding the compat libs
