CE, I know very little about the use of GEDCOM, it either works for me or it doesn't. Granted GEDCOM development is always behind the times. I understand backward compatibility is always a challenge.
Even so, since Millennia created Sourcewriter shouldn't they be responsible to create a workaround algorithm to export the appropriate fields into current GEDCOM fields? Even if most of the information might wind up in a notes field at least the information would available on the import end, although maybe not as useful as if it had proper GEDCOM fields.
