If I use the latest version for e.g 8.x of Notes.jar and NCSO.jar then will I be able to <br />
1. Parse any NSF file where a Notes client is installed. I.e If I have a 8.x client then will I be able to parse NSF file which are created in 6.x, 7.x<br />
2. Parse any NSF file that resides on the server. ie If I have a NSF file created using version 6.x or 7.x of the Domino Server and they reside on the server version 8.x. Then using the NCSO.jar from 8.x server will I be able to extract the contents of 6.x/7.x nsf files.<br />

1. Parse any NSF file where a Notes client is installed. I.e If I have a 8.x client then will I be able to parse NSF file which are created in 6.x, 7.x
2. Parse any NSF file that resides on the server. ie If I have a NSF file created using version 6.x or 7.x of the Domino Server and they reside on the server version 8.x. Then using the NCSO.jar from 8.x server will I be able to extract the contents of 6.x/7.x nsf files.



Is Notes.jar and NCSO.jar backward compatible.

Lotus Software produced the Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet program, and later developed Lotus Notes, a groupware and email system. Following its acquisition by IBM, the Notes and Domino client/server collaborative platform were expanded to include functions such as email, calendars, to-do lists, contacts management, teamrooms, discussion forums, file sharing, microblogging, instant messaging, blogs, and user directories. IBM also release SmartSuite, a comprehensive office suite, and followed that with Symphony, unrelated to the Lotus suite of the same name.
