 ====Converting from the Original DIY Plugin====
 In general the new plugin should work and handle your data identically to the old version. Please test this and let me know if there are any problems. Of all the plugins this may be the most difficult to test since there are so many wildly different use cases.
-If you do not need to change the parsing parameters on the fly it is no longer necessary to call the set parsing params verb in the init() handler of the interface script. This information can now be set at startup in the Edit Interface window. Please move your settings to that place so that they are in place before the very first byte is received. There is no harm in changing the settings on the fly using the verb however.
+The conversion is not destructive and if you have problems you can immediately go back to the original plugin.
+  * Disable the interface in the Interfaces list window
+  * Edit the original interface.
+  * Change the selection in the popup from “DIY Scripted Interface” to “DIY Interface” which will also show a version of at least 2.0b1 in the popup.
+  * Add the proper parsing settings to the Edit Interface dialog as these can now be set at startup without needing the call to that in the init method. You can comment that call out with the new interface if you set the settings in the edit dialog. The verb is still supported however and will work as before.
+If you need to revert simply change the Device popup back to the original plugin and re-enable it.
-Otherwise the behavior should be identical to the older interface. If you find somewhere that is not so please let me know.
