•
Option for the user to up convert V1.00 files that were opened or read.
When:
- User performs a “Save As…” on an open V1.00 file
- User performs File => Write of a V1.00 configuration file to an ADMPCPU.
The only provision:
- EASY CPU V2.00 has to “down convert” a V2.00 file to a V1.00 file format is when a V2.00 file is
written to an ADMPCPU version previous to V2.00. In which case, it will be converted to a V1.00
format configuration file upon the write, but if saved it will be as a V2.00 format configuration file.
A blank default V1.00 configuration file will be provided which can be opened, renamed, and saved
to obtain a legacy format configuration file. This lets users maintain old files with the new EASY CPU
that are used for legacy ADMPCPU versions. The user is not precluded from writing a V1.00 file to a
V2.00 ADMPCPU if it is not up convert upon a File => Write, and by staying with the old format of
course the new features will not be enabled.
- Supports production versions of ADMPCPU version 2.00. The preferred arrangement is to use new
versions, and is required to obtain all of the corrections and enhancements. Also new problems
will require upgrade to the latest versions to isolate and resolve such issues.
