[Chimera-users] cannot open session

Yes, when chimera 1.6 became a production release candidate, the daily 
builds switched to version 1.7.  And especially for session files, any 
version of 1.7 is considered newer than any version of 1.6.  Version 
1.6.2 is a patched version of 1.6 and while the date is newer than your 
version of the daily build, the code is much older.  So you need a newer 
daily build (or the same one) to restore that session file, luckily 
there is a new version every day :-).

     HTH,

     Greg
