Great help, thank you much

If I want to convert an old .bbdb (version 2.35)

How would I go about that .... would I just put the old ~/.bbdb
into ~/  and start using it or is there some procedure involved in
converting it to 3.1.?? (newest from source).

I've been told the older version will convert upward but cannot be
returned to 2.35 once it has.

Thing is, I see no instructions to do the conversion.

Google does not appear to know about instructions for conversion of
older BBDB to BBDB-3.???  either.
