WriteLog versions 11 and 12 can read each other's .wl files.

The two versions cannot, however, use the on-screen window positions in
each other's .wl files. When moving .wl files from one machine to
another, even with the same version, the on-screen positions might not
be useful anyway if the monitors on the two PCs are different enough
(two monitors versus one, or vastly different resolutions, etc.)

Whenever I File/Open a .wl file from off-machine, I generally hold down
the CTRL key which, in both V11 and V12, omits reading the on-screen
window positions even if the version matches. Otherwise I can have
trouble figuring out where stuff is :-)
