The files are the same. I am unsure that there are any new Timelines in
v5x in comparison to v4x but there may be. In any case, you can copy the
files for any Timeline from the v5x Timeline directory/folder to the v4x
Timeline directory/folder. Keep in mind that there are up to four file
associated with any one Timeline. The difference is in the file
type. Thus the file names will be the same. The file type are;
DBF (Microsoft Visual Foxpro Table)
DBT (DBT File)
DOC (Microsoft Word Document)
CDX (Microsoft Visual Foxpro Index)

The text above in parentheses is the probable Type description in Windows
Explorer. The only files needed are the first three as the index file is
created when the Timeline is opened. The DOC file is optional and may not
be available.

Hope this helps -
