     Yes, I'm trying to load a 1.8.12 Unix version into 2.0.99 Windows. This
is so my accountant can see what I've done. This is an uncompressed input
file, it looks like :

 <?xml version="1.0"?>
<gnc-v2>
<gnc:count-data cd:type="book">1</gnc:count-data>
<gnc:book version="2.0.0">
<book:id type="guid">cd184bd6ccc7151ee55235bf61cd8e11</book:id>
<book:slots>
  <slot>
    <slot:key>counters</slot:key>
    <slot:value type="frame">
      <slot>
        <slot:key>gncCustomer</slot:key>
        <slot:value type="integer">2</slot:value>
      </slot>
      <slot>
        <slot:key>gncVendor</slot:key>
        <slot:value type="integer">22</slot:value>
      </slot>
    </slot:value>
  </slot>
</book:slots>
<gnc:count-data cd:type="account">87</gnc:count-data>
<gnc:count-data cd:type="transaction">272</gnc:count-data>
<gnc:count-data cd:type="gnc:GncCustomer">2</gnc:count-data>

Or am I misinterpreting compression???

As for the inability to make backups, yes, there was an issue. I was running
it off a CD. I later moved the file to the server itself just incase that
was causing more issues than just unable to write a lock.

All I tried to do in the trace file is "File->Open" and my file. I am trying
to open files created on 1.8.12 Unix using 2.0.99 Winderz.  Am I
misunderstanding what a "compressed" file is? Like it shows above, it
doesn't look compressed to me. If anyone wants the file, I'll happily
provide it.
