[sage-support] Re: Old Notebook retrieval

2010-01-29 Thread TimP
(Yes.)  I have both 4.2.1 and 4.3 in VirtualBox.  I have a couple of
worksheets (only one is important) in 4.2.1, and am trying to get them
to 4.3.  I have used  the save-to-zip approach, as per instructions,
and pulled it into 4.3.  What I get is an ancient trial worksheet that
I used to test 4.2.1 on.  This happens repeatedly ( ie- filename.zip
(1)(2)... and filename.zip(3)--so the files are new, but their
content is old.

 What exactly is your situation?  Are you running an old copy (pre-4.2.1)
 in VirtualBox, and 4.3 in VirtualBox, and want to get your notebook to
 move over to the new version?  Or are you uploading individual
 worksheets to the 4.3 version in VirtualBox?  Is there a specific
 worksheet that is causing the problem that you can post?

 Thanks,

 Jason
