I've been putting this off for as long as I can but I can't hide from it 
anymore.  A migration is going to happen, I need to figure out which path 
to take.  The envronment is COBOL, Quick & Dictionary but none of the other 
Powerhouse components, View, Image, KSAM (old & new), MSGFiles, lots of 
intrinsic calls from COBOL, the streams have some fancy stuff but not too 
much.  The Quick screens are very ugly with a lot of COBOL calls.  We also 
have COBOL74 programs that just won't run right in 85. The decision has 
been made to go to HPUX, everything else is up in the air.  

I've read the messages posted and I've been to the Speedware, Ordina, etc 
websites.

I have a feeling that some day after going down the right fork in the road, 
I'm going to say, 'I should have gone to the left'.

Can anyone point me to a place where I can read about some recent hands-on 
developers who have gone thru this - besides what's posted on this list.  
It was helpful but a lot of it is old so I wonder if it's still relevant.  
Problems that someone had with a product in 2003 could be solved by now.  I 
don't trust what I hear from the vendors.  I'm lookijg for real-life 
stories.

Mike
