[Remind-Fans] Please test git HEAD (soon to be 3.3.0) was Re: Using SPECIAL COLOR in the agenda view?

Diane -

The new JSON output, and the resulting reverse-engineering by 
TkRemind, sound great. I don't have time to check now but I want to 
ask a question about it before I forget. When I start using the new 
TkRemind, will my .reminders file have a mix of the old-style (with 
ugly (your word) comment blocks) and new-style reminders? Will the old 
style continue to be supported? I have a clunky and limited TCL script 
that puts TKTAG's into .reminders. Should it continue to work?
