When upgrading to a newer version of TERM or TinyTERM, you can still use the older configuration files, provided they have the same extension. For example, any version of TinyTERM for Windows that uses a .tap file can use them interchangeably with earlier or later versions of TinyTERM.

If the extension for the connection file has changed, such as from .con to .tap, you will need to recreate the file, or convert the older file. TinyTERM 3.x and TERM 7.x include a utility CONVTAP.EXE. This will convert a .con file to .tap format. TinyTERM 4.x includes a CScript named TAPtoTPX.cs that will convert a .tap file to .tpx format. But there is no utility to go from .con format to .tpx.
