The wizard is not the appropriate path for Digital internal questions.
There are several sources for porting code from UNIX to OpenVMS.
Isolated UNIX tools are available, as is the POSIX programming
environment. (POSIX is a seperately-installed package that is
licensed with OpenVMS.)
For information on both these areas, see the OpenVMS Frequently
Asked Questions (FAQ) monthly posting.

Questions:
This is a very unusual question, I'm sure you'll like to hear
about cases like this:
Is there a porting utility from DIGITAL UNIX to OpenVMS?
That's right, UNIX --> OpenVMS.
To make a long story short, a DIGITAL customer in Mexico
(a major bank) bought a couple of 8400 UNIX clusters to run
their core applications. Being novice UNIX users, "root"
deleted the ORACLE log while the app was up. The result
was a mess. They also have OpenVMS, they know how secure
it is, how easy to use. They want to switch. Please advise.
Thanks,
