Ummm ... that index problem again :-( Why can't UV handle indexes sanely by default? :-(
I had a utility that scanned an account looking for and fixing indices (we needed it - we tended to move accounts around a bit) - I could hunt it up and email it to you or put it on PickWiki. And yes, I know what you mean about the VOC entries (is there a reason for not using CLEAN.ACCOUNT, which would do it for you if you have a lot?) But knowing you can just move them around is great for the odd occasion that you have to.

Also, it gets rather tedious setting up the many VOC entries for the OS files again.

I'm NOT recommending that you don't use it, but a while ago I had a linux box, a SCO box, and a Windows box, and quite happily copied UV files between all three of them using the OS-level copy command. Bearing in mind they all run on Intel chips, and byte order is a chip problem NOT an OS problem, you shouldn't have problems just copying the os-level directories around. DO play and test before you do anything for live, though!

To switch from sco to windows, you must use *uvbackup* tool into sco to prepare a file, then copy these file to windows and use *uvrestore* to restore the datas. (problem with special chars on unix vs windows)) There is a trouble with Type1 file, convert it to Type19 before copy. Under Windows, you must upgrade all your VOC entry where there is OS full path (check your datas eventually) I hope this help.
