3965.0. "Phase IV NCP to Phase V NCL command summary migration" by TFOS02::HEISER (Maranatha!) Wed May 21 1997 14:46

    The following is a conversion of DECnet Phase IV NCP commands into 
    DECnet/OSI Phase V NCL commands.  Many of the commands do not have straight
    one-to-one conversions.  Sometimes a single NCP command is the equivalent 
    of several NCL commands, and other times a single NCL command is the 
    equivalent of several NCP commands.  There are also some commands that 
    have no conversion into NCL.  The intent of this is to be used as a tool 
    to help with the migration to DECnet/OSI and be a quick reference for 
    commands.

Did you know that DECNET_MIGRATE.EXE can do a lot of this for you as well, that
is translation of NCP commands into NCL?
