Gambas and Gambas2 (currently 1.9.X) can exist in the same machine: you 
can install both gambas and
gambas2, run the old programs with the gambas runtime, and write new 
programs for Gambas2 (or translate
the old ones). The stable version contains some programs and libraries ( 
gbx -> the interpreter, gbc -> compiler...) and the new developement 
version contains other programas and libraries ( gbx2, gbc2,...), so 
there is not any problem when running both the old and the new interpreters.
