U PD ATING F ROM P REVIOUS V ERSIONS OF DRA G S TRIP If you have been using a previous version of DragStrip, it’s a good idea to back up your previous strips before installing. Upon installing DragStrip and converting your 1.0, 2.0, or 3.x strips to 4.0, your strips will look and work the same except they will have many new options. The way in which DragStrip 4.0 stores files has changed since previous versions. DragStrip no longer stores icons, aliases, etc. in the same manner.
