3994.0. "V1.3 to which version?" by SNOFS1::CHURCHILLJ () Mon Apr 28 1997 05:30

    Simple question and hopefully a simple answer. How involved would the
    task of migrating a customer running V1.3 to V2.2 be? So complicated
    that it would require lots of changes, recompilations and testing? Or
    fairly simple? System is to be upgraded from 5.5 to OpenVMW 6.2. Would
    it be better/safer to go just to 1.4 even though it's no longer
    supported? Thanks.

	Better to go to V2.2. It wouldn't be too tough. I believe the customer might have to rebuild their forms however. That is, re-translate and re-EXTRACT them (if they use the .OBJ format). Rebuilding forms is recommended for pre-V2.0, but they may work as is. Performance on the form would be better if they rebuilt though. Domenic
