I tried to do a
download of a database from Gems 1.16.2 to AVTS 3.12.5 and get Incorrect
AVVersion. Does the Gems 1.16 versions go with AVTS 3.13
versions????

Note that GEMS 1.16.2 will break
download to AVTS 3.12.x. I got sidetracked by this problem and a couple
of other things today, so the matching AVTS 3.13.1 won't be out until at least
tomorrow.
Okay, AVTS 3.13.1 is still not quite ready, but I
have a consolation prize. The original intention was to have 1.16.2
be incompatible AVTS 3.12.x, as has been the case with protocol changes in the
past. That really is cruel and unusual for the install base though.
The GEMS 1.16.3 release should now download to both
3.12 and the soon to be released 3.13. Of course, once downloaded, you
still can't swap floppies between systems with different
versions.
Note that the download protocol is almost guaranteed to
change in an incompatible way at least one more time in the future. Just
not this time.
