Strange because I have versions 5.2, 6.03 and 7.01 all installed on my  
MacBook right now, and I quite frequently use the older versions,  
particulalry when I get a weird looking answer from the latest one. I  
have been doing this sort of thing with older and newer versions for a  
decade and have yet to encounter a problem.

I think it must be the first time in my life I actually managed  
something "impossible".
