Yes, all "old" things are preserved. (The CURSOR command
may be an exception, I guess, but that's even too old
for me to worry about.) The Coyote Graphics routines,
of course, attempt (fairly successfully, I believe) to
turn "old" graphics routines into routines with "modern"
functionality. They can be used in any version of
IDL, from at least IDL 6.4 (maybe earlier) to IDL 8.1.

Cheers,

David
