I have no idea what version this "V2 IIRC" is, but in the eagle/bin
directory is a program "update26.exe" that should convert things from
versions before eagle 2.6 (in Eagle 4.x /5.x). There are ulp's
"updatemanager" or so in the cadsoft download section.
"Normally" one just exports a library as a .scr file, starts a new
library from a newer eagle version and imports the .scr file.

Yes IIrc= If I Recall Correctly. the libraries were created in 2.0 or 2.1 possibly I no longer have a machine with 2.x on it and didn't know about the SCR export.
I had switched to KiCAD on my windows machine but it does not run properly on mac so I am re-evaluating EAGLE on macintosh.

Then convert the old files using the mentioned "update26.exe" delivered
in all eagle downloads found here:
ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/eagle/program/4.0/
AFAIK you must put the old files into the same directory where "layers
new" and "update26.exe" are located, usually "/bin".
Under windows you must open a DOS-window, go to that directory and type
update26 filename.sch
I dunno if this runs on different machines other than windows.
