their file extensions to keep track of different versions, why not VEE? Using
something like .VEE5, .VEE6, .VEE7 (or simply .V5, .V6, .V7) would allow all
VEE versions to co-exist without competing with each other. You just need to
tell Windows Explorer one time which EXE file to use for which extension and
you're set.
Of course, you would have to switch to *.* view to browse for files, as they
would not show up with the *.VEE mask.
Another thing you would have to remember is when you use SAVE AS, that you put
the filename in quotes, like "MyFile.VEE7", then it will save it exactly as
you typed it. If you leave off the quotes, then VEE will tack a ".VEE" to the
end, saving it as MyFile.VEE7.VEE. Pretty simple thing to remember.
Importing libraries with a .VEE6, or .VEE5 extension works as expected. Anyone
see any other reason why this would not be a desirable thing to do for those
with multiple versions installed?

Maybe the best way would be to name the .vee files for Version 7 to .vee7 if
you use many parallel installations. In general there is no more need to
limit the suffix to 3 letters...
Until now i rename my old vee-file to an "V7-" prefix to see the difference
if saved under V7.

Betreff: [vrf] RE: 7.0 Reminder!
Hi Mark, Bill, vrf,
Yes, you'll probably want to keep 6.x around until you are satisfied that
you (and your end-users) are completely moved over to 7.0.
I still have 5.01 through 7.0 installed on MY computer because many users
have not upgraded. Bummer.
:-)
So side-by-side installs are a good idea till you've cut ties with earlier
revisions. Just beware that only one revision can "own" the .vee suffix at
any one time (same is true for .vxe).
BTW, 7.0 fixes a bunch of elderly bugs (sorry, "defects"), too. After you
download and install 7.0 eval, open Help > Contents and Index, and select
"What's Been Fixed in This Version".
(Thanks for the humour, Mark)
Best Regards,
Scott Bayes
