Spam:Re: 2.7 scripts not working how to save in 2.6.1

[Peter T. Evensen]

Chipp created a plugin to go back to the previous version:

>compatible with the new 2.7. Thoughtfully, RunRev provided many of us beta 
>testers with a way to force a stack to revert back to an old file format 
>using an undocumented and unsupported global property.

>But, if you're like me, and you have to go 'back and forth' (for instance 
>our plugins must work in both environments), you really need to be able to 
>do this. So, I wrote this plugin and thought I'd share it with the community.
