David,
You cannot use a Legacy 9 file in Legacy 8. Legacy 8 files are converted
for use in Legacy 9 so if there is any chance that you might want to
revert to 8, you need good backups.
Legacy 8 backups will restore in Legacy 9 as will Legacy 2,3,4,5,6,7,
and 7.5 backups. I know as I've tested almost all of those. I couldn't
find a Legacy 4 backup for some reason but I haven't mined all my
backups ;)
Note Legacy Support is still supporting people using earlier versions of
Legacy and have copies of many versions available for testing and
support. Legacy 4 was the last one I heard about.
So I guess the question is "in what way are you supporting "casual" users?"

Thank you, Bob, for the encouraging report.
I thought I had read somewhere in this group that Legacy 9 files would
not be compatible with Legacy 8.
Is that not the case, then?
If that turns out to be true, I see problems coming up when supporting
„casual“ users of Legacy, who will not be keen to purchase Legacy 9.
Cheers, David

Hi David,
I've only been using v9 for a couple of days. There doesn't seem to be a
significant change in v9 other than the advertized items - which I am
beginning to like. However I have noticed there are also some bugs in V8
that are now fixed in v9. It also seems to load quicker but that is
speculative as mine open very quickly anyway. I'm thinking they may have
streamlined some of the code.
Thankfully they haven't changed the 'look and feel' of Legacy. Mine
upgraded with 99% of the old settings.
I'm pleased with the upgrade.
Bob

Subject: [LegacyUG] About Legacy9
Is there a list of the major differences between Legacy8 and Legacy9
somewhere?
I mean an honest and complete list that tells me about changing data
formats
and things I need to be aware of, not just the advertising stuff on
the home
page!
Thanks, David
