RE: isam to myisam
Hello, Does anyone out there have a working version of MySQL that supports the ISAM and MyISAM engines and who might could convert my old database for me? I'd really appreciate it. Please reply off the list.

RE: isam to myisam
I did try --type='myisam' --type='isam' --type=myisam --type=isam --type='MYISAM' --type=MYISAM --type='ISAM' --type=ISAM All produced identical errors. Specifying the individual tables didn't change the error note. Any other ideas? Is this the right way to go about changing these ISD, ISM, and frm files to MYD, MYI and frm? Do I need to do this? Is there another way to get mysql to read the old ISD, ISM and frm files?
