David,
R83 ran as a native database directly on the hardware, not on a separate
O.S., so I have to believe that you have a .vtf file from a D3 system that
was made using the C option for backware compatibility with R83.
There is a utility called d3conv that will preprocess a d3 account save so
that it can be restored onto Universe using uvrestore.
But, I have no idea how it would handle a D3 account save made with the C
option.
And, I don't know if your vtf is an account save or a file save of several
accounts, some of which you wish to recover.
If you can restore this vtf onto some mv database, like D3 perhaps, we have
a suite of programs called FileCaddy, and consisting of TAPE.DUMP and
TAPE.LOAD, that will dump all the files in a mv account to tape and then
load them into a Universe account as a group, recreating each file as it
goes if it does not exist.
I'll be glad to discuss this further offline if you wish.
hth,
Dave

Subject: [U2] Method to read 'r83' vtf file
We are moving several proceses to Universe (windows). We would really
like
to be able to import a couple accounts with datafiles into Universe
from a
'r83' vtf file.
Is this possible? If so where can I find the information. I have been
looking in the pdfs but there does not seem to be anything specific.
Thanks
