Hi Dave,
Thanks for the update. It looks like T-DUMP is the way to go. I
haven't had a chance to play with it any more since we last
corresponded. I'll probably get #1 son to bring my old AP machine
downstairs from my old office, since I can't climb the stairs very
well anymore. Sure glad I bought an external floppy for my XP
machine.

You were wanting me to report back on my progress. So here
goes. I have had a lot of support from Tony, but because I was
not familiar with Accuterm, I came accross as a bit of a dummy.
I am however, getting familiar with accuterm.
Here are my actual results. I have Accuterm loaded on my
XP-PRO/JBASE systerm with a serial connection into my R83
box. With some guidance from Peter at Accuterm, I did a file
transfer from R83 to a DOS intermediate file on my XP BOX,
because this apparently is the fastest way to get data over. My
baud rate is 19200. I had an approximately 21mb file with 67435
items . The transfer took just over 7 hours. I did the same
transfer with T-DUMP/T-LOAD in just under an hour. So, don't
throw out your floppies. I could have done it quicker, but I was
only using one floppy, and sat there while the process was
running.
I have to use conversion routines on these files to upgrade them
to my newer software configurations. Once I have all the
conversion programs in place, I will dump my clients final data
to my developement box and upgrade them. There are many files,
as you know in an accounting system, and a lot of them need
conversions done, so I can't be held up by slow transfers,
because my client cannot afford to be without his computer
system for a long period of time. So T-dumps it will be, since
this still seems to be the fastest way for me.
Dave.

Subject: Re: Pick r83 to jbase conversion
I would assume that all this
would apply to Advanced Pick on an old 486 box as well. I
have a lot of stuff there that I wasn't looking forward to
T-DUMPing to floppies (yes, they still exist) and T-LOADing
into Jbase. I will be watching with great interest, so keep
us informed, David!
Thanks,

Partition Commander is the only product outside
of our industry that I know of which recognizes the
name Pick in its configuration. With that you can
multi-boot back and forth.
For this non-jBase phase of your effort I
recommend posting to the MVDBMS forum or even the
TigerLogic forum. Once you have the data extracted
using MIGRATION.BP you might want to come back here
and share notes about jBase-specific requirements.
Call it as you wish.
Good luck!

I'm back, all browned up and ready
to begin. Hit my first snag. The computer I was
going to use for xp/jbase has no serial ports, so
will have to look for either an older box, or a
serial port card. When I get this put together, I
will begin the transfer process.
As an aside, I put R83 on an old Pentium 233 box,
and it worked perfectly. I then installed windows
2000 on the other half of the hard drive, and now
seems the only way I can boot PICK is to use the
floppy to execute the monitor. I guess the multiple
boot thing doesn't work because windows doesn't
recognize the pick partition as valid.
I will post progress reports.
