 ====== How to Create a .mcam-content file ======
-This is unfortunately not as simple as just creating a Zip2Go and changing the extension type to .mcam-content, as strange as that my be.  Believe me, I've tried it and customers can't load the file.  I believe that is because zip2go creates folder structures with versions, ie "Shared Mastercam2021."  To get the content file to work, you need to strip the version info. In this example, it should be "Shared Mastercam" instead.
+Only works in MC2020+ as far as we can tell.

 NOTE : this MIGHT be fixed in version 2021. Be sure to check the folder structures just to be sure though.

 Now find the new .mcam-content file and open it up.  Modify the name of the "Shared Mastercam" folder inside so there are no versions.  This should be it.
+*Note, it seems with one of the updates, that now 2021 and 2022 you do not need to make any changes when creating an mcam-content file with the Zip2Go Utility.  The versioning has been removed //As long as you create the zip2go with the mcam-content extension! if you use .zip or .z2g, it will still add versioned folders! So **be sure to select the .mcam-content dropdown option!!!**//
