RE: CISC to RISC (manual method)

Pat,

We've done about 118 "manual" upgrades directly from v2r2 CISC to v4r2 RISC.
(This was too big a jump for the Roadmap to handle.)

See my posts from the October 1998 archives...

The Roadmap is definitely the preferred method; but if you have a good
reason, are careful and do your homework, you'll be fine.

Regards,
