     We have moved from IMP2.X to Current IMP
     In the process the postgres database got updated and
     as a result we have some "odd" encodings of characters
     in the prefbooks preference variable. As a result the
     unserialize function chokes and fails. As a result the
     end user does not see their Private Addressbook.
     I've tried and convince the helpdesk folk to encourage
     the use of the Turba subsystem.

     The question at the moment is how to fix all the characters
     in the prefbooks that are causing the unserialize function
     to choke. Right now I'm doing them on a case-by-case basis.

     As for the tool for converting - I beileve I can cobble this
     together, but if one existed it would save some time.

     Thanks for the response.
