TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I think backwards or backward compatible is understood by most users. However,
to avoid confusion one might say "the data (file, output, case, heart beat
records etc.) produced in Ver. 3 can be used (or imported) into Ver 4. but Ver 4
files can not be used by older versions.
