Isn't that part of the migration-process to migrate everything?
current and history?
It was nice as long as we had the 3000. We didn't have to worry about "old"
databases or files when we upgrated MPE.
Now with other OS, I am not so sure.
MS$-products, Oracle etc.
might not work and might have to be converted everytime you upgrade.

Life was so nice and easy with MPE.

Have a nice weekend
