Re: [Quickfix-developers] compatible questions

Andrew, thank you!

If that has to be the solution, I will not be able to
use QuickFix APIs designed specificlly for differently
FIX versions then. And I have to use those general
APIs, and then fill in more fields for differently
verisons in message. Is this correct? or do I miss
anything?

Thanks a lot!
Alvin
