Chuck,
You didn't mention backup: eg 3.5" floppy?
That removes any issues with re-installing the hard drive in a different
hardware environment.
And, I didn't see any mention of Pick flavor - eg: R83, AP or AP/Pro.
If its R83, it will probably restore onto mvBase very nicely, and then on to
UV or QM very easily.
Then you can handle the conversion to the Pick flavor of UV or QM as you
wish.
I have an mvBase machine and may be able to put may hands on an AP machine.
Until the path to success is clearer, though, it's tough to estimate a cost.
And, if the client is cash-strapped, I think they need to come up with a
maximum budget so we don't spin our wheels for nothing.
hth,
Dave

Subject: [U2] 386 Conversion
All,
This is likely to go nowhere, as the client is cash constrained, but I
have to ask...
I have a client still running a 386 Pick implementation. The system
died. The closest thing I have is a 486, but I don't believe I can simply
put the harddrive in a 486 and get Pick to boot. (If I'm wrong, tell me).
So, does anyone out there have the ability to take a 386 flavor
Pick-formated PC harddrive and pull the data into something more modern
(U2, QM, D3...)? If so, what would it cost?
