It's called the DECwindows programming reference manuals :-)
Seriously, there is no such document available - I am still in the
process of writing one. There *is* a document that was written
over a year ago which was more a guide to writing UIS applications
that could be easily ported, and gives a broad overview of the
differnces between the two window systems it should be on HARBOR::
someplace.
The bottom line is:
There is no magic convertor. DECwindows and UIS functionality
intersect but neither is a subset of the other. And even once
all the functionality has been provided to truly make DECwindows
a superset of UIS, the design philosophy is so radically different
that by-and-large the typical UIS application must be completely
re-written.
The document being prepared will try to help people plan a strategy
for the port and point out the specific areas that must be investigated
to decide how to procede with a port. It will also try to provide
pointers to all the appropriate DECwindows documentation and routines
needed to emulate specific UIS functionality.
