Version 3?!?  Perhaps I'm comparing apples and oranges (BDB vs. Btree?)[0],
but bogofilter here uses BDB Btree, version 8, which
sounds to me like you're researching ancient history.  However, bf
also supplies bogoutil, which can dump (export) its BDB.  bogoutil is:

   ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for
   GNU/Linux 2.2.0, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped

so perhaps you can learn its secrets from the code.  I see there's
also libberkeleydb-perl if you're perl friendly.

This is on Sarge.


[0] Ah, sorry, digging a bit deeper (/usr/share/doc/bogofilter/README.db)
mentions:

  Sleepycat Software: Berkeley DB 3.1.17: (July 31, 2000)
  Sleepycat Software: Berkeley DB 3.2.9:  (January  24, 2001)
  Sleepycat Software: Berkeley DB 3.3.11: (July 12, 2001)
  Sleepycat Software: Berkeley DB 4.0.14: (November 18, 2001)
  Sleepycat Software: Berkeley DB 4.1.25: (December 19, 2002)
  Sleepycat Software: Berkeley DB 4.2.52: (December  3, 2003)
  Sleepycat Software: Berkeley DB 4.3.27: (December 22, 2004)

so perhaps not quite as ancient as I thought.

It is very ancient history (data from some old vetrinary clinic program which
is no longer supported but still in use by a friend but causing some problems
and I'm trying to read the files to be less blind about this.

Turns out that it's a borland paradox database though, just as old I'm afraid.

Managed to dump parts of it and now I need to figure out why window messes up
and whether it will run on wine so that she can bypass windows alltogether.
