Firebird 5 can receive replicas from Firebird 4?

[Dany40]

Hello,

I know Firebird 5 can work without problems with ODS 13 database files, it goes very well. 

I just want to be sure that Firebird 5 can work fine as a replica server receiving data segments from ODS 13 databases sent by a Firebird 4 server.

Thank you very much!

Replication is done on record level, so as long as physical formats of record
(kept in RDB$FORMATS table) match, it should work.
