transition from matlab 2010a to 2012b, you may not be able to go back

I made PSL model changes this week to add channels to the science frame. Pre-empting next week's upgrade to matlab2012b, I modified all the mdl models used to build the code using 2012b (in some cases just adding an SVN $Id$ tag in order to make a change).

Today I tried to open the psl models using matlab2010a. I had no problems with h1psliss and h1pslfss, but h1pslpmc crashed 2010a. There are no problems opening this with 2012b. Presumably PMC uses some matlab parts with are not backwardly compatible with 2010a.

When I made the transition, the original 2010a versioned file was save by matlab with a 2010a prefix. We should always do this.

You have to use the 'Export Model to > Previous Version' if you want to save a model in the earlier format.  Incompatible blocks that postdate the export file format version are converted to empty masked subsystem blocks in the exported file:

The default file format is set in the preferences, or via command line:
