Or so I thought. Here is a script that concatenates your old history
with the new files, or renames the old files to the new names. The data
format seems to be the same. It seems to have worked for me, but I take
no responsibility for what this script does. Take a backup of your .licq
directory before executing the script.
Took a few mins to write and a few mins to share, enjoy.
Merry Christmas!
