The incompatibility occurs, as Shane states, across the 0.92 to 1.0x boundary.
The difference between 1.01 and 1.02 is minor, as I recall, the documentation
mentions a bug fix for ceratin 386 users in 1.02. Otherwise, I believe 1.01
and 1.02 are the same. Both of them should be able to create/decode files
created in the "new" format (called "imploding").
