A downward compatibility issue was discovered and reported by an ARMY 
MARS net using the NBEMS software.  Forms

ICS-205, ICS-206 and ICS-213

generated by version 1.1.4 will be rejected by previous versions of the 
flmsg software.  Upward compatibility is OK, that is a 1.1.3 formatted 
message can be read by 1.1.4.  Other form types were not effected.

I apologize for the inconvenience this might have caused and glad that 
the bug was discovered during an exercise and not an emergency.  This 
should be a one time issue.

Please be sure that all users of flmsg are synchronized respecting the 
version number of the software.

Have a great Sunday.

73, Dave, W1HKJ
