Sorry, I wasn't clear. I know that the versions of the objects' classes
are encoded in the archives. What I meant is that Gorm should be able
to create backward compatible archives, very much as it can do already
for GNUstep version 0.10.3 etc. In the meantime I found out that the
necessary information is listed in VersionProfiles.plist in Gorm's
Resources directory (patch below). Yet, applying this patch does not
change the pop up button in the file inspector of Gorm documents  
because,
uhmmm, the items of the pop up button are hard coded in  
GormDocument.gorm
rather than being initialized at runtime from the keys in
VersionProfiles.plist.
