Seeing as how the 89 directly supports assembly, I strongly doubt that
there will be much of a problem with compatibility, except maybe in
the area of libraries.  The 86 has a ton of shells out but all of the programs
use the same format and none of the programs require a shell to run them.
If a format is not designated, this is probably what will happen to the 89,
which isn't bad (it just means no libraries).
