I created backup in the 4.2 (code page 43) and tried to import it into 6.5 (code page 42). I get the code pages do not match.
Any way around this? Is there a different/better way to convert a single database (12 tables only)?
Thanks,

bcp out, bcp in. Backups are not compatible.

Are the backups compatible if I create an enviroment with the same code page and character set? I just found out there are more than 100 tables.
What was the common method to upgrade from 4.2 to 6.5?

Not sure about this one.

I found out that the backups are compatible. Make sure the code page and character sets are the same between 4.2 and 6.5. Create the database in 6.5, do a restore.
Here is the quirk, you have to unregister the 6.5 instance and then reister. Otherwise you only see the helpdb in the tables.
