Currently atload and propload (linux) destroy the
DAT/IDX files if you try to load a dump that comes
from a different world server version.

This behaviour is hardly acceptable for a serious
program. An intermediate solution would be to let
these tools check the version before they destroy
something.

Later the version number that already is part of
these dumps should be used to enable compatibility
imports.


For interchange and migration it would be good if
the DOS/UNIX linefeeds would not play a role. I do
not know if that currently matters, but if it does,
it should be fixed.
This could have been the reason for the destructive
behaviour as well, but I think it was the version.

agreed....

I have never fully investigated what happens between versions or platforms,
but I have never gotten a propload saved from another platform to work.

Every time my only saviour has been back-ups made by bot (Xelagot - thanks
Xelag) and having the bot rebuild the world.
