The last version 7 was 7.3.0.5 for Linux. Tt is rather more a patch than a
full version, only the varicad exe has to be replaced. This version
understands the new file format.
The 1st windows version which used the new file format was 8.0.

Agreed.
In some cases it was more efficient than the new one. But it took longer
to learn the interface.
The older version were extreme unassuming on resources.

I think you mean the interface from Martin Herren.
It is an IGES to AC3D converter, so also IGES output from VariCAD is
neccessary.
