I have been using trichlor in my pool for the past 40 years with no problems. I inherited a few dichlor pucks. Can they be mixed in my Hayward CL200 chlorinator, or is there some fire hazzard or other complication with mixing them ???

No they are fine together, just be aware dichlor builds up your CYA level faster.
The chlorine you cannot mix is Calcium hypochlorite with either of the two you have.

I may not give you the answer you want to hear, but I will give an honest opinion of your situation as you decribe it.

I should have made my post a little more informative. I'm using a Hayward CL200 automatic chlorinator. Can the 2 different types of chlorine be mixed inside the chlorinator without any adverse chemical reactions ???

Yes Ron, as before you cannot mix calcium hypochlorite with the ones you have but just be aware of the CYA levels in each type.
