Just FYI, I just got this from the mother ship. I was under the impression that 
the system property

 the stackFileVersion

showed the file format (7.0 or earlier) of the currently open stack. It 
doesn’t: all it shows is the format that any new stack will have when created 
in the IDE. To find out what format your stack actually has, I quote Neil Roger 
who was kindly writing to me about a stack that was puzzling me (see my earlier 
mails with the above subject line):

When I switched from LC 6.x series to 7.x, I assumed my ‘saves’ would save in 
the new format. They didn’t. That explains a lot. I suppose everyone else here 
already knows that you have to do a ‘Save As…’ to get the new format - but just 
in case…
