Sorry for this old post, but i tried to open your document with the
1.0.6.14-1 version (debian testing) and the windows crashes.

Can you still open your document with the latest version ?

If not, how could we be sure that our old document will be avalaible in
ten years ?

Just a word : i had a similar problem with a texmacs file created with a
1.0.6.11 version and containing some graphs which i can't open in the
new texmacs version.


Greetings

Marc
