<div id="ygrps-yiv-183347146">Can someone please explain to me... <br/>
<br/>
1. Are Procontrol and Progress Explorer interchangeable?<br/>
2. Does Explorer REPLACE Procontrol or just enhance it?<br/>
3. It seems to me that I still need Procontrol to get the ODBC broker started, and that I need Vantage 5.0 started in Procontrol to do so.  Does this mean that I can just keep using Procontrol instead of Explorer?  <br/>
4. Are there advantages to Explorer over Procontrol?<br/>
