Alan: AQ versions 3-11 would work with a PAF 4 database. Starting with version 12, AQ can convert a PAF 4 file into either a PAF 5 file or to a .aq file, but not work with it directly. AQ versions 12 and later work with a PAF 5 file. I think you are asking whether you can use AQ's latest features to sync with nFS on a PAF 4 file. No, you'd have to convert the PAF 4 file to a PAF 5 file for this.
