The latest DOS version orbats are compatible with the windows version. The latest DOS version maps are compatible with the windows versions. Earlier versions are NOT. Windows maps are NOT backward compatible with the DOS game. Graphics from the lastest DOS version are compatible with the Windows game. Backward compatibility is unknown to me, I have not ventured to experiment.

MOBHACK (kudos to Andy for inventing it) is backward compatible with Latest DOS Version Orbats. The user is warned 1. If orbats are copied and pasted, transfer errors will occur. Every orbat so copied and pasted MUST be examined for unintended changes. 2. Some unit classes have changed. 3. Previous version DOS ORBATS and maps may not be readable with WinMOBHACK. The Orbat converter (a third party product ek dink, does not work well. (At least I could never get it to work.)
