I would not expect a software company to maintain any sort of backwards 
compatibility unless they could
see any _significant financial advantage_ in that.

About a year ago someone waved $100 at me for a version of my Devawriter 
Pro that would run on Mac OS 10.6 32-bit,
and as it took me all of 15 minutes, I was able to run them off a 
standalone using LiveCode 8.1.8.

Without the incentive of $100 it would have depended on which side of 
bed I had got out of that morning. ;-)
