Excuse me, but it isn't ME being obtuse, it's IAR's method of=20 versioning, which makes it quite difficult to document what toolchain=20 "version" was/should be used to build a particular "version" of an=20 application.

The choice is to either archive the entire IAR environment used to=20 produce the executable, or never/rarely "upgrade".

=20

Ooh, touchy, aren't we? Of course, it also ignores the fact that not=20 all "releases" of the various components work with earlier release=20 components of the same major version.

=20

Right, my point exactly.

I generally choose to keep the old versions around. IAR makes it easy to do that by allowing each new version to install in a different=20 directory. EWARM 5.10 takes up about 622MB of hard disk ( about 20 cents=20 worth of a 250GB disk). The IAR menu bar tab gives you an entry for=20 each installed version, so it's easy to start the appropriate version.
