versions will definitely change some of the inputs and will give you different
simulation numbers. Furthermore, once you’ve opened the file in a newer
version you can’t always go back to an older version. I’ve learned
this the hard way with version 3.62b. Definitely check what version you
created the original files in and use that for all of your runs.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

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></span></font></p>
