The RSC/MP 7.x family differs from RSC/MP version 6.x and earlier in the following

ACS object. Attempting to set ACSERVER to a Guardian process name will now
result in an error.

supported using the Interprocess session type. If you send a Pathway session to
the TDP, it is converted into a Pathsend session.
RSC/MP uses the TDP PIPE object and the Piccolo transport.

The IPX/SPX and Asynchronous network interfaces are no longer supported.
