Interoperability -- Same Name Substacks

[Scott Kane]

I find this discussion interesting.  I know some people
see the file difference in 2.7 to be a major hurdle.
However - RunRev are not alone in doing this.  As pointed
out by some even Hypercard had issues between versions. But it's also
common on many other platforms including the likes of Delphi and Visual
Basic (and various flavours of C++). Adding functionality to a new
version, logically, is going to break something, sometime.  With Chipp's
stack pretty much taking care of the issue (and this is something you do
*not* see on many other platforms), IMHO the situation is moot.  I'm not
arguing that problems in 2.7 do or do not exist.  Rather I'm saying to
improve a product it is 
sometimes necessary to depart from prior formats in order
to add enhanced functionality.

Just my AU 2 cents worth, around US 10 cents,
