   I have a theme which uses the old-style loop i.e.

   if ($posts) : foreach ($posts as $post) : start_wp();

   as opposed to the new-style loop i.e.

   if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();

   Will this theme work with WP 2.1? or should I modify the loop code in the theme (is this easy?) or should I go back to old version of WP - I'm not sure when the loop code was altered)?

   Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

   Since 1.5 the "new style" is in use.
   This might help to figure out where the Loop starts and ends:

   OK, thanks. I guess I want to avoid modifying the loop in all the php files if possible. So the question is, will the old-style PHP loop code work with WP 2.1?

   Good question. I guess nobody tested it yet. It worked up till the 2.0.x versions.
