Dear Evrim,<BR>
Ian and I had identified this problem; I'm sorry that you tripped over it before<BR>
we documented it or fixed it.<BR>
You can't open a database less than or equal to 0.5 with the current cvs code.<BR>
I don't know any very simple way around this problem; Ian and I were planning to <BR>
address it with a fairly deep solution of assigning version numbers to the formats<BR>
and then providing a specific upgrade mechanism.<BR>
So, unfortunately, you options are:<BR>
1) Wait 3 or 4 weeks for Iain and I to fix it,<BR>
2) Figure it out yourself and give us the patch (good for us, perhaps bad for you...)<BR>
3) Continue use 0.5.<BR>
<BR>
Let me know what you decide to do or if we can help you more with this;<BR>
we will definitely have to solve this problem before we make the 0.6 release.<BR>
<BR>
