### Backward compatibility

Opening for output a new file with the syntax `FILE OUT NEW` is now forbidden. This syntax is obsolete and produces an error.

Backward compatibility is ensured for reading and writing in old files (created with an old version of CLASS with the syntax `FILE OUT NEW`): they are transparently opened with the MULTIPLE type.
