* Cumulus 1 is reasonably tolerant of numbers using a comma to separate the integer and decimal part of real number. MX always expects periods/full stops in .ini files regardless of the locale in use, please see the [https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=12908 Cumulus MX Announcements and Download - PLEASE READ FIRST] for details, as there is limited documentation, but generally if you want to transfer these files from Cumulus 1 to MX, it is best if '''you edit them so all decimal numbers have a "." between the integer and decimal parts'''.

* Cumulus 1 is tolerant of various separators for dates and times. Cumulus MX insists all times use a colon separator, and all dates are in ISO format. However, MX will read the date/time entries in the Cumulus 1 format, and it will only change them to the new format when it needs to update an extreme in that particular file.

* In individual articles, any differences in the precise content or format within individual files will be highlighted. In general, some dates/times are in different formats so may need editing if you move the file concerned between Cumulus 1 and MX, and MX may add extra entries to those used in Cumulus 1, but otherwise in many ways the files can be easily interchanged.
