Issue C63007     [previous patch]

Strict mode not available in V3/4 games
Submitted by: David Kinder     Appeared in: Compiler 6.30 or before     Fixed in: -
Problem

When compiling to V3 or V4 (which I'm doing to generate interpreter test files), Strict mode isn't any use, as it uses V5+ opcodes.

Solution

The following patch disables Strict mode by default for Z-code versions less than 5.
