Greetings, group. I have a situation at work in which our software (running
on a PC) needs to talk to two different versions of our firmware (running on
circuit boards in boxes hundreds of feet away, communicating via RS232).

The two firmware versions (1400 and 1600) are very similar, with 1600 having
a few more members in each of several key structs used for communicating and
storing data. (Alas, the added members were scattered through the structs
by our firmware designer, instead of being added only at the end. Sigh.)
