Charlie: You were wanting me to report back on my progress. So here goes. I
have had a lot of support from Tony, but because I was not familiar with
Accuterm, I came accross as a bit of a dummy. I am however, getting familiar
with accuterm. Here are my actual results. I have Accuterm loaded on my
XP-PRO/JBASE systerm with a serial connection into my R83 box. With some
guidance from Peter at Accuterm, I did a file transfer from R83 to a DOS
intermediate file on my XP BOX, because this apparently is the fastest way to
get data over. My baud rate is 19200. I had an approximately 21mb file with
67435 items . The transfer took just over 7 hours. I did the same transfer
with T-DUMP/T-LOAD in just under an hour. So, don't throw out your floppies. I
could have done it quicker, but I was only using one floppy, and sat there
while the process was running. I have to use conversion routines on these files
to upgrade them to my newer software configurations. Once I have all the
conversion programs in place, I will dump my clients final data to my
developement box and upgrade them. There are many files, as you know in an
accounting system, and a lot of them need conversions done, so I can't be held
up by slow transfers, because my client cannot afford to be without his
computer system for a long period of time. So T-dumps it will be, since this
still seems to be the fastest way for me. Dave.

Subject: Re: Pick r83 to jbase conversion
I would assume that all this would
apply to Advanced Pick on an old 486 box as well. I have a lot of
stuff there that I wasn't looking forward to T-DUMPing to floppies
(yes, they still exist) and T-LOADing into Jbase. I will be
watching with great interest, so keep us informed, David!
Thanks,
Charlie Noah

Partition Commander is the only product outside
of our industry that I know of which recognizes the name
Pick in its configuration. With that you can multi-boot back
and forth.
For this non-jBase phase of your effort I
recommend posting to the MVDBMS forum or even the TigerLogic
forum. Once you have the data extracted using MIGRATION.BP
you might want to come back here and share notes about
jBase-specific requirements. Call it as you wish.
Good luck!

I'm
back, all browned up and ready to begin. Hit my first
snag. The computer I was going to use for xp/jbase has no
serial ports, so will have to look for either an older
box, or a serial port card. When I get this put together,
I will begin the transfer process.
As an aside, I put R83 on an old Pentium 233 box, and it
worked perfectly. I then installed windows 2000 on the
other half of the hard drive, and now seems the only way I
can boot PICK is to use the floppy to execute the
monitor. I guess the multiple boot thing doesn't work
because windows doesn't recognize the pick partition as
valid.
I will post progress reports.
