[gme-users] PICML problem

[Akos Ledeczi]

Kimberly,

my guess is that there were some changes in the metamodel that made the 
existing models "invalid." Furthermore, the binary file format is not 
robust. However, the xml is. So you should always keep a backup of your 
models in xml format. Importing them in the new paradigm works most of 
the time.

Even better, there is a shortcut. When you try to open a model and gme 
comes up with "Project could not access its original version of 
paradigm" message, you can answer NO, and GME will open it with the old 
paradigm.  Do not open any windows and select the File menu Update 
through XML command. This works most of the time unless there are too 
many and/or significant paradigm changes.

u - user; s - system  GME will put the info in the appropriate region in 
the registry.

Hope this helps,
Akos
