General comments

• Every new TWS/Graph version/release includes
  support of the latest TWS version/release.
  Because of that, this presentation does not
  mention if a new TWS/Graph version includes
  support for a new TWS version.
• Every new TWS/Graph also includes support of all
  former TWS versions/releases.
• TWSGRAPH.EXE is always downward compatible you
  can TWSG 5.4 together with any old TWSCUNL.EXE,
  but probably not the other way around
• Since an upgrade for TWS/Graph means only to
  replace two EXE and some DLL, we recommend to use
  always the latest versions of TWSGRAPH.EXE and
  TWSCUNL.EXE (can be downloaded from our homepage)
• Latest TWSGRAPH.EXE and TWSCUNL.EXE always
  include all former fixes
