Dave I think you've misunderstood.

There is no problem installing an entire 64-bit SuSE system. There is no 
problem restoring my files containing records of past emails, into that 
64-bit system. (So no problems with tar, executable libraries, KDE, Konqueror 
or KNode themselves in their 64-bit incarnations.)

The problem is that the 64-bit incarnations of Konqueror and KNode are unable 
to correctly read the email history files generated by the 32-bit 
incarnations of the same Konqueror and KNode.

It's as though versions of M*******t Word for W*****s 32-bit were unable to 
read *documents* produced previously by M*******t Word for W*****s 16-bit.

Any ideas anybody?
