I only wished this worked.  I get the same this as Ettore (has
anyone figured out why?  I couldn't find it in the archives):

$ db1_dump185 addressbook_old.db | db2_load 2.db
db1_dump185: addressbook_old.db: Invalid argument
db2_load: line 1: unexpected format

What's going on with this?  It's too bad these db libraries
couldn't manage to provide better upgrade tools.
