Mostly. 8.1 only supports program linking via AppleTalk; 10.1 only supports
program linking via TCP/IP, so you're stuck there. I'm told that AppleTalk
program linking still works in Classic, so you might be able to get it to work
either by running your script in Classic or using a Classic process as a relay.
Of course, you could upgrade your 8.1 machine to 9.0 or better.

Or is this only correct when you're attempting to program link by TCP/IP?
Both machines have to be able to use the same protocol. Mac OS < 10.0 supports
program linking via AppleTalk, Mac OS X 10.1 supports IP, and Mac OS 9.x supports
both. So (for example) 8.1 can talk to 9.0 and vice versa, and 9.0 can talk to
10.1, but 10.1 can't talk to 8.1, at least not directly.
