I did use the 2.4.13cfg file to compile 2.4.19 and I did get it working. 
However it complained bitterly about a long list of files that were not in 
the old config but were in the new one. I also had to go back and alter some 
scsi selections and mttr selection. That is why I said that they were no 
longer as compatible as they used to be, within a common version. It would 
seem that wereas the upgrades were more bug upgrades today there are many 
additions over a few releases.

But anyway thanks, as i di get it to work.
