Correction: it is not broken, I just used the wrong procedure.
The following works:
Suppose that you want to convert OLDSPACE into NEWSPACE.
1. Make a backup copy of OLDSPACE.
2. Invoke GZigZag 0.1.x with arguments "-oldformat -convert OLDSPACE"
3. Invoke GZigZag 0.1.x with arguments "-oldformat -new -dcold OLDSPACE"
Exit from GZigZag immediately.
4. Invoke GZigZag 0.1.x with arguments "-oldformat -export OLDSPACE.xml OLDSPACE"
5. Invoke GZigZag 0.1.x with arguments "-import OLDSPACE.xml NEWSPACE"
Exit from GZigZag immediately.
You can now start using NEWSPACE.
Of course, substitute correct names for OLDSPACE and NEWSPACE
