A '.PLA' file is not a library that you can load but is a PLN file that contains the library saved with it at the time - an archive file.
You open it just like any other PLN file - the only problem is that version 20 can only open file back to version 10.
So you will need an earlier version or a file convertor to open and save it to version 10 which you can then open in 20.

But you may not need to do this if you say you already have the library?
Unless there is something specific in the file you need (i.e. it is a template).
The library should be the same though.
Version 20 can't read a version 8 file directly but it can load a version 8 library.
No guarantee that the library parts will work properly though as some aspects of GDL have changed over the years.
