Subject: RE: [U2] [UV/NT] T.LOAD from d3/T-DUMP pseudo froppy diskfile
Right,
But which value to use on which field ?
Thanks

Manu,
I am not aware of any way to create a virtual floppy disk on UV/NT, either
directly or using UniAdmin.
I've tried to do it with UniAdmin and failed because UniAdmin expects an
Operating System device, like a physical tape drive or floppy disk drive,
and there is none in a virtual floppy disk.
Perhaps someone else on the list has the answer.
We use three tools for transferring software from generic Pick databases to
Universe and Unidata:
1. the d3conv program pre-processes a virual d3 account save into a
record that can be restored onto a Universe account using the Universe
uvrestore program.
2. <AD> Our File Caddy programs, TAPE-DUMP and TAPE.LOAD, create multiple
T-DUMPs (your choice of any one file to all the files on an account) and
then T-LOADs each file onto a Universe account, creating the file as it goes
if it does not already exist on the account. </AD>
Also, mvBase supports virtual files that can have a
BLOCK-SIZE of 500. I haven't tried it, but you might be able to T-LOAD a
virtual d3 floppy disk file onto an mvBase virtual tape file, but then you
will still have to get it from mvBase to Universe.
3. If you are talking just about 1 file or a few files, and if you have
access to the machine on which it resides today, I would use either Accuterm
or Dynamic Connect/wIntegrate to move the data and/or dict sections of that
one file to Universe.
If you don't have access to the machine on which this file exists, I would
try restoring it onto mvBase and then using Accuterm or Dynamic
Connect/wIntegrate to move it to Universe.
If you have more than one account, please feel free to contact me off-line
if you would like to consider using either d3conv or TAPE.DUMP and
TAPE.LOAD, with or without the intermediate transfer to mvBase.
<AD> We also offer SpoolerPlus, our generic Pick print spooler for Universe
and Unidata, to eliminate the need to rewrite all the print commands
embedded in your D3 (or any generic Pick) software to Universe print
commands and giving up your generic Pick print spooler functionality. </AD>
hth,
Dave
