Please clarify incompatibility re 2.7

Hi,

Jacque's previous message regarding incompatible stack formats 
worries me. It's probably no big deal, but, better safe than sorry.

If I have been running my stacks without problem on version 2.6.1, in 
Macintosh OS X, and I now upgrade to 2.7, what kind of problems, if 
any, will I have if I need to use the Mac OS X Rev version 2.6.1 
again, for some reason?

Actually, I'm talking about Dreamcard, not RR.

Yes, I am extensively backed up, but I'm continually adding new data 
to my stacks. Backups soon become obsolete and data loss costs me 
plenty money.

I use DC version 2.6 for for Macintosh OS 9.2 occasionally, and would 
like to keep on doing it. If I upgrade to 2.7 for Macinotsh OS X, 
will I deprive myself of the opportunity to run those stacks on Rev 
version 2.6 for Macintosh OS 9.2?

AFAIK, 2.7 isn't ready for Mac OS 9.2. I guess 2.6.1 might be the end 
of the line for that platform.

Thanks in advance,

Tim
