No, I don't expect that, what I'm trying to do here is draw on
people's experience of the various versions, to determine which
version that can read the old format will be likely to give me the
least problems.

At the moment I'm looking at 1.2.128 as being the last that supports
the old format. But other users may have had experience that would
suggest that a somewhat earlier release would be more reliable, and if
so I'd like to hear about it before putting in a lot of effort trying
out yet another version.

Trouble with databases is that there are just too many conditions
which could trigger errors for a simple testing exercise to cover. We
ran quite a few tests on the 107 version before releasing it, but
didn't see a single problem until we had unleashed it on an
unsuspecting user base.

In an environment like ours it's almost suicidal to follow every new
version of 3rd party libraries that comes out. In fact I really wish
I'd left the 4 year old version alone, all we really had from it was
the occasional "double allocation" fault.
