Upgrade 1.3B->3.2?

Dear Digital Unix wizards,

We are proposing to upgrade our 2 machines (A 3000/800 and a 3000/400 with
Denali graphics) from OSF 1.3A to 3.2{AB} or thereabouts. I recall this
subject has been discussed before, so I wonder if I could ask someone to
post a summary of advice. Is it best to upgrade or re-install? Any
hidden Gotchas (I am aware of the firmware level trap with the model 400!).

Are there any compatibilityt problems with old binaries/libraries, .o files
and 3.2 and the new DEC compilers? Or will the upgrade be "user-invisible"?

thanks for any help

Keith Refson
