Stanley,
What you said is true. However, we can convert visual mapper in to GIS AI map
as follows:
"Converting Gentran:Server for UNIX Maps to Gentran Integration Suite
Gentran Integration Suite contains a map conversion wizard to enable you to
easily import Gentran:Server for UNIX maps into the Map Editor, converting them
to the Gentran Integration Suite format.
Note: This utility only converts maps created with the Gentran:Server for UNIX
Visual Mapper version 5.x and above.
For other tips on migrating from Gentran:Server for UNIX to Gentran Integration
Suite, see Map Editor Migration Information.
To convert Gentran:Server for UNIX maps:
Select File > Import > Gentran:Server for UNIX Maps and click Next.
Type the name of the Gentran:Server for UNIX Visual Mapper .map or .vmp map
that you want to convert (or click Browse to locate the map or maps), and click
Next.
Note: If you are converting a map created using Gentran:Server for UNIX
version 5.1, 5.2, or 5.3, select a .vmp file. If you are converting a map
created using Gentran:Server for UNIX version 6.1, select a .map file.
Tip: If you click Browse, you can select multiple maps
Type the name of the destination folder where you would like the converted map
to be written (or click Browse to locate the destination folder), and click
Next.
If you do not want the Map Editor to import the map links, clear the Create
links within imported maps check box.
Note: Only simple links are converted.
If you do not want the newly converted map to be automatically opened in the
Map Editor, clear the Open imported maps in Map Editor check box.
Click Finish. The utility converts the specified map and (if designated) opens
the map in Gentran Integration Suite. If the file name already exists in the
specified directory, the Map Editor renames the file with a numeral appended to
the name, and saves the file. For example, if ORDER.map already exists in the
specified directory, Map Editor renames the imported file ORDER1.map, or if
ORDER1.map already exists in the directory, Map Editor renames the map
ORDER2.map.
Add the necessary map links, standard rules, extended rules, conditional
relationships, and user exits to the converted map."
This is from Map Editor help session and I hope this will help you
Regards
Mike

Dave,
Maddy indicated that the old system is Gentran 5.3
which uses the Visual mapper. The AI mapper was not
used on the UNIX system until Gentran 6.0. The Visual
mapper is not the same as the NT Gentran 4.2.02.
There is no conversion from the 5.3 visual mapper to
the GIS mapper. All maps have the be rewritten.
Cheers
