    Webb> Here's the Usage section of the output from sb_dbexpimp.py -h:

    ...
    Webb>                  -f: FN : flat file to export to or import from
    ...
    Webb>                  -f: FN : name of dbm database file to use

    Webb> -d is missing, and -f is there twice.  Presumably the second -f
    Webb> should be -d.  I'll take your word that this has been fixed
    Webb> already.

That was fixed in CVS by Kenny Pitt a little over a month ago.

    Webb>          Database merging - multiple databases can be merged into
    Webb>          one quite easily by simply not specifying -n on an
    Webb>          import.  This will add the two database nham and nspams
    Webb>          together (assuming the two databases do not share
    Webb>          corpora) and for wordinfo conflicts, will add spamcount
    Webb>          and hamcount together.

Thanks, I'll fix that.

    Webb> and the third example shows,

    Webb>          Export, then import (reorganize) new pickled mybayes.db
    Webb>              sb_dbexpimp -e -i -n -p mybayes.db -f mybayes.db.export

This seems just plain weird to me.  I'm going to delete this example and add
a merge example.

Thanks for the feedback,
