Walt,
The tables are ISAM type.  These are some seriously old tables (originally
from version 3.21) and were never updated to type MyISAM.  Despite
frequent updates to mysqld.
There is a program isamchk which is similar to myisamchk, but it returns
the error "___ is not a ISAM-table."
I have read and re-read the man pages for this utility and  cannot get it
to spit out anything more than the error listed above.
Anyone else got an idea?  This is killing me.

Make sure you are running isamchk on th .ISM files, and that the user 
running isamchk
has read and write privileges for these files and their directory.

If these files did not come from a linux box of the same architecture, 
you may have to go back to a
duplicate of the old machine to convert  or dump them.
