Version 10 has been out for over a year and has had 5 'rounds' of bug
fixes so should be stable. Which ever version you go to you would be
advised to recompile all your code so I would take the opportunity to
upgrade to 7.32 (the latest) 4GL. There will be bug fixes for 4gL but
no futher development, so you my want to consider conversion to a
different too ethr as prt of your uprd, or a future project.
