You could easily copy all data to some other place and copy it back to the original place afterwards. Then all data would be in 3.6 format wouldn't it? One (maybe namesys :-)) could also write a tool exactly doing that one by one. Read each file, copy it to a specified place (/tmp, for example) and copy it back then. That should easily be possible with a shell-/perl-skript What do you think? Greetings, Stefan PS: sorry, but I neither have the time nor the need to implement that.
