Hi Michael,
I believe (correct me if I'm wrong please) that the "C" option with the SAVE
verb causes it to produce a backward-compatible account or file save - ie
backward compatible with R83.
And, if I remember correctly, R83 records were limited to 32k.
So, if you're going to use the "C" option, you need to identify any records
that exceed 32k and break them into partial records that do not exceet 32k
so they can be saved, restored and then pieced back together without leaving
data that exceed the 32k limit behind.
In fact, it was this limitation in part that caused us to develop the
TAPE.DUMP and TAPE.LOAD programs.
hth,
Dave

Chuck:
It has been quite a while since I've done one, but I've done several in
the
past.
When making the tape on Mentor Pro:
T-ATT 512
T-ONLINE
SAVE SYSTEM acct (FTYC
On UV using UniAdmin:
Choose Import
Select your tape device
Set your block size
Check the Use Type 19 Files box
I forget if you need to have the account defined in UV first or if the
restore will create it. Also be sure to get the account on a single tape.
I never had any luck with multi-reel tapes, but I've heard it works.

All,
I'm moving a customer from Mentor Pro to UniVerse. My gut tells me suck
the data out through Telnet but I wondered if anyone has any advice on
doing
it by tape? I remember their being some nasty item-size limits with tape
but
it has been so long since I've done a tape anything... All help
appreciated.
