Reverse makemap command

[Brad Crotchett]

I am running db3 and makemap does not have a -u option.  I copied the db
file over to a system running db4 and tried from there but it complained
that it was from an older version of Berkeley and need to be recreated. 
Any other ideas on reversing it?

Thanks,

Brad
