What about using Berkeley's db_dump and db_load Program? Would this be an
option for 3.1.5?
Tnx

No. Even ignoring bigendian/littleendian issues, there are padding issues
(the size of integers, etc) and other OS/CPU related issues.
The htdump/htload programs in the 3.2 code can transfer the databases to a
text file for such purposes and is a much more reliable way of doing this.

I think this is about the most graceful way of handling things. The
database doesn't give much information to the application if the data is
screwed, it just returns NULLs.
