I am trying to transfer some old .dbx files into my Thunderbird program. I am aware they need conversion and am trying to do it with “undbx” which is available in the software centre.
I have installed it but there is no icon or GUI but it is recognised in terminal
But I don’t under stand how to run it. If you download the tar.gz files there is a “read me “ which gives instructions for a gui but they are obviously designed for Windows as they refer to “command lines”. However the main operating command is also referred to here
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man1/undbx.1.html
as:
SYNOPSIS
undbx [options]<DBX-DIRECTORY|DBX-FILE>[<OUTPUT-DIRECTORY>]
But I’m not sure exactly what I should type in termiinal
I don’t think I need options so that can be ignored, so am left with this:
undbx <DBX-DIRECTORY|DBX-FILE>[<OUTPUT-DIRECTORY>]
What do the square brackets and smaller than greater than signs signify? I have tried using them in various combinations with the file paths typed inside to no avail.
