How do I modify a camera file made for NI-IMAQ 3.7.1 to use in NI-IMAQ 3.1.3

I am currently using a JAI CB-200MCL camera with a cameralink attachement and a PCI-1426 IMAQ card.
 
I was able to get the camera to work properly with NI-IMAQ 3.8 and the camera file that was provided on the NI website for the JAI CM-200MCL which was designed to work with NI-IMAQ 3.7.1 or greater.  So there is no hardware issue with the setup.
 
The problem however is that I am currently running Labview 7.0 and have found that I can't run NI-IMAQ 3.8 with it.  Does anyone know a way to edit the camera file to work with NI-IMAQ 3.1.3 that I know to work with Labview 7.0?  I find that whenever I try to load the current camera file for the JAI CM-200MCL in MAX that I get an Error 0xBFF60018 "Camera file is missing or corrupted".  Thanks.

I figured out how to do it.  I had to remove all of the designations for the other cards that were not supported by NI-IMAQ 3.1.3 (1427, 1430).
Also there is one line:
                       BitsPerComponent (8)
located in the InterfaceInfo(1426) section that the NI-IMAQ 3.1.3 does not recognize and was causing most of the trouble.
Hope this helps anyone else that might have this problem.
