File Compatibility

All Windows upgrades (i.e., grain size version 1.x to 4.x, LIMITS version 1.x to CLSuite version 4.x, Proctor version 1.x to 4.x) remain fully compatible with data entered using the older version of the software. All specification envelopes, sieve nests and compaction test specifications created using the older programs remain available after the upgrade.
For users upgrading from DOS to a GEOSYSTEM Windows program: The GEOSYSTEM Swell/Consolidation, SHEAR, and QC-Concrete programs have importers that can read in a data file created using the DOS versions of the same program. The GEOSYSTEM GrainSize, CLSuite4, CBR, R-Value and Proctor programs cannot read datafiles created with the DOS versions of the same programs.
The GEOSYSTEM LD4 Windows boring log program is fully compatible with all files created with the DOS LOGDRAFT III program, including project files and report and data entry forms.
