<p class=MsoNormal>I have heard that opening a pd2 in a different version of
eQUEST than the version it was built in may cause some file changes. Does
anybody know details on this? I would like to be able to look at the pd2
without opening it in any one version and find which version it was created in,
in order to open it with it’s original attributes.<o:p></o:p></p>
