It's years since I did that (UV on a Prime EXL7330 to UV on NT4 (or even 3.5)). But it was a pretty easy move. As you say, the biggest problem was one of our major programs (year end) did an awful lot of its work via calls out to the OS. However, we'd moved from PI on Primos a few years earlier, so we knew the pitfalls ...
