Right - that's included in my comments about exporting to another program or uploading to a website. My point was that if you're sharing a file "Legacy to Legacy", unless you're going back to an earlier version of Legacy, you wouldn't use a gedcom. And previous versions wouldn't support the SourceWriter anyway.
The important thing is that the information is exported and *should* be imported by the program you're using.
