I don't have a copy of them any longer, but from what I remember of the file
structures of Maximus, they have a field at the beginning with the record
length. If older utilities are written right, they would see that the record
lengths are larger and compensate for it, and just use the information at the
beginning of the longer record (which would be backwards compatible).
This is just from memory though, but I'm pretty sure this is how Scott coded
it.

Matt
