Hi all,I am quite new on this topic because I recently assumed someresponsibility to maintain some legacy K code. I appreciate if anyonecan help me with some questions.1. How are K, Q, kdb+ related to each other? kdb+ on top of Q, whichis on top of K?2. Is there any documentation on K around to help understand thelegacy K code? Or the docs on Q almost equally applies to K? What arethe differences?3. How does \kr work in K? It seems to produce some .kr file from .kfiles.4. The version of K I am using is 2.95, which seemed to be around in2003. Is that very old? What is the state of art?Thanks,GH

What is the state of art?Yes, but that’s quite close to the latest version for K3.kdb+ 2.6 is the latest release for the follow on product.Hope this helps,Charlie
