I expect they could run on a $500 box, say Pentium III with Fedora or
Solaris.
I expect that OpenQM is the lowest price.
I would be reluctant to let "Geek-Squad" do the install because their rep is
unlikely to know MultiValue.
New server issues that I have run into are...
1. Programs and VOC can be copied from machine to machine; SUBs
must be recatalogued.
2. Define printers in the new environment.
3. Test apps, one-by-one.
I am willing to do the install, after hours or on a Saturday, for a low, low
price.

Subject: [U2] Microdata Conversion
I have a client with a 1986 Microdata Spirit 6000 system that I would like
to
upgrade to something more contemporary.
I had a client on UD Solaris who's software was from Microdata (true PQN)
and
IIRC, the Procs had the MV and other PQN-specific commands intact. They have
2
UD systems that aren't being used.
The very fact that this MCD client still has a 20 year old box is an
indication of their economics.
The solution has to be the most cost effective. I know of QM but don't know
the real story of a MCD conversion. I don't think D3 has any MCD-D3
conversion
utilities, Proc-wise.
Should I attempt to purchase one of the UD's for this client and enlist
Ashwood or someone to install the programs with the media. I believe that UD
has a conversion utility to adjust the 10 line dict items to the 7 line
ones.
I am looking forward to being the main programmer with the conversions. I am
not looking to farm out this project as it will get too expensive real fast.
Thanks in advance
Mark Johnson
