The only case where you would experience problems with IMAGE is if you took
advantage of the new features which come with 5.0 release.  This includes
Dynamic Detail Dataset Expansion, High-Water Mark DBPUT, jumbo datasets and
registering indexes (both IMAGE keys and TPI indexes) with ISQL to name a
few of the new features.  If you do not make any changes to take advantage
of these new features then you should be able to port the database back to 4.0.
