Compatibility of save files
Save files that are created with ARCHIVE V12.0 can be read by all ARCHIVE versions as of V2.8.
Save Files on disk will be created in a neutral NK file format as of ARCHIVE V7.0, independently of the format of the pubset or the private disk. Therefore, continuation of disk save files from earlier versions is not possible.
