I tested it out - using a 2.2 saved file in the 2.0 version. I noticed that the
display shows the Root account and it now prefixes all account names.
Visually not great but whatever.
I did notice one other thing. 2.0 doesn't know about the ROOT account type so
it
changes the type to NO_TYPE. I'm wondering how 2.2 will respond to that?
Haven't
tried it yet.
