Why not just stand up a 7.5 / 7.6.03 server and migrate your users and groups. Leave both systems up for 30 days, and then archive the old one, and do away with it?
5.01 used older varchar for oracle, and clobs, and the migration seems excessive for such an old system. if they need the old one, just let it sit there for 6 months.. is it hurting anything? make it read only, and no creates. just a thought. This has to be a home grown system, Remedy Applications were not out yet.
