Hello Bart,
I tried your suggestion and it didn't work. I then looked at the ".js" load file format for v13.2 and v13.4. They look very different and are obviously incompatible. I ended up just re-entering the parameters from my saved design into v13.4 and then generating a new ".js" design file. I could then re-load it into v13.4 with no problem. The feature that you added for loading a saved file is much appreciated.
If anyone wants to see the difference, I have listed the contents of both versions of the ".js" load file. As you can see there is quite a difference. v13.2 seems to be defining a function with embedded parameters while v13.4 is just a list of parameters.

Subject: Re: [TCML] JAVATC version 13.4
Morning Steve and Merry Christmas.
I just checked by loading up a Javatc 13.2 saved coil data into Javatc
13.4 and it "is" compatible. Probably what you are doing wrong is not
changing the file name of the saved coil to "JTC_load.js" and then
using the Load Demo button to load that data. This was the "old" way of
loading your file and obviously a PITA.
The "Load Saved Coil" button is new. You cannot use that button to load
"old" saved files previous to 13.4. Just rename the old file to
JTC_load.js (obviously you have to rename the original JTC_load.js to
something else first), then use the Load Demo button to load.
However, once the data is loaded, go down to the "Make Load File" button
and create a "new" one. This will open a Save As dialog box and allow
you to save that data as a simple text file. From that time on, you will
be able to use the new "Load Saved Coil" button at the top of the form
without the renaming exercise.
Sorry for the inconvenience,
Bart

Whenever i tried to load my selected file, all I got was all zeros in the JAVATC display for all parameters. When I use the "Load Demo Coil" button, it loads the demo file and non-zero parameters appear as expected.
