Dave,

thanks for the reply. As I have learned by separate email communication,  
binary instrumentation isn't supported anyway on the target platform. The main 
functionality that remains is reading and visualizing *.viz files.

My current plan would be that I use the HPCT plugin only on the local project 
and rely on the feature that the synchronized project replicates the *.viz 
files to the local file system. I still need to test whether this really works 
and that the HPCT plugin doesn't get confused about this. But at least I would 
expect that I leave the PTP 4.0 API from the HPCT plugin alone that way, so I 
can safely run it with PTP 5.0.

What do you think ?
