Obsolete Commands
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Description:

    The commands following this entry will be considered obsolete in the
    next major version of Class(y).  These changes to Class(y)'s original
    syntax are being made for one or more of the following reasons:

    .   To achieve greater consistency in the command set
    .   To reflect Class(y)'s evolving architecture
    .   To anticipate future changes in Class(y) and Clipper.

    These commands will continue to be fully supported at least through the
    next version.  The Class(y) user manual and sample programs still make
    use of these commands.  In essence, this is an advance warning of
    changes which will be made in the next version, to allow a more gradual
    transition to the new syntax.

    A summary of the old commands and their replacements follow:
