portabilty of programs written under IDL3.6.1 to IDL5.2 [message #14447]

Years ago our Institute purchased IDL3.6.1 and since then
I am working on a program that simultaneously can control
several hardware cards by means of CALL_EXTERNAL, which
invokes functions of the DLL libraries delivered with
the various cards. Until now I was using 16-bit DLLs, as
this version of IDL is restricted to calls to 16-bit DLLs
in Windows.
Unfortunately, new cards are now delivered with 32-bit DLLs,
and as such I cannot use the delivered libraries of these
new cards. I have now the following question. Is my program
portable from IDL3.6.1 to IDL5.2 or has the programming
environment changed so much that I have to rewrite my
whole program when I want to upgrade to IDL5.2 ?
I want to try to find someone who experienced the same problems,
and I would be very gratefull to her/him if she/he wants
to share her/his experience about this problem.

Waiting for someone to answer,

greetings from Antwerpen (Belgium, Europe),
