Shouldn't be a problem installing them and running them.

I should note, however, that the MatPLC <-> ClassicLadder linkage is rather 
out of date and mostly broken; it's been written for an old version of 
ClassicLadder, and the newer versions have a different (better) architecture; 
unfortunately, this means the linkage needs to be re-done. I made a start on 
it earlier this year, but I haven't got very far due to lack of time.

(Basically, in ClassicLadder, MatPLC needs to be added as a new I/O type. Not 
very difficult, but it means changing the dialogue box so that it accepts a 
string rather than three numbers etc.)
