Using a different PC, I was able to use the Universal Viewer to open a v6 data set and view the data.  The problem I reported viewing the data may not have been v6-related.  I didn't try opening a data set created by an engine other than v6 (and am unable to now).

Hi Dale,

Is your v6 file named *.sd2 for windows?
