From 2 to 3, there are major changes in the msgarea.ctl file format. Have a
look at them. My conversion took around a few minutes using a Qedit macro.
It's just that, no other major change needed (apart filearea.ctl which has
similar format changes but dealing with those were much easier, it took
only a few seconds writing a macro and running it).

You may have to look at max.ctl too, just to see anything is out of place.
Automatic conversion did foule up, I had to intervene but it didn't take
neither much time nor trouble.
