I just updated 1.1 to 1.2.1 here.  I did this after making
copies of my bookmarks and history.dat files.  (I'd gotten in
the habit of making history.dat copies, as they have continued
to occasionally go POOF.)

Fire up 1.2, and my settings and bookmarks are remembered.  It
even remembered that I wanted it to keep history for 185 days.

But NO HISTORY FILE.  So I copied it back.  Mv1.2 keeps replacing
it with a fresh empty one.  I've made a few crude stabs at trying
to isolate the differences and try to stuff the old data into the
new file without success.

How can I trick/fool/force Mv1.2 to accept the history data from
a Mv1.1 history.dat file?
