I hope it is OK this time.

That's correct, "6-HpLN" is the HZ (hanzi) coding (the de facto
standard for the chinese Internet community) for three chinese characters
(2 bytes for each one). I am using some hacks to display these in Epoch
(and it shouldn't be hard to do for Lucid and FSF emacs.)

To be absolutely safe, how about convert two (or more) BBDBs to EDB
and merge them, then tell EDB to call bbdb-create-internal on every record?

I was just refering to EDB's abilities of merging databases and
writing records from one to another, although I think it should be possible
to read in two (or more) databases of the same type to create a "virtual"
one.
