Ron: I was able to restore a D3 account (from Linux) onto a UniVerse on Windows machine (my Thinkpad). In order to accomplish this you need to know the secret IBM/U2 handshake. Fortunately, a VAR told me what that secret handshake was and I got it done. I emailed Curt the instructions for this secret handshake so he should be able to properly restore a D3 account onto his UniVerse on Windows machine.
Colin Alfke told me how to do the same thing with UniData and I was able to upgrade our clients from D3 to UniData by doing an account restore.
