Re: Batch conversion of OV/400 docs to Word docs

[Jerry Adams <jerry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Pat,

A friend of mine just down the road got a new 520 last year.  They, too, 
used OV/400 but didn't want to convert to MS Office (can't remember 
why).  He just used the LPP CD from the old V4R? system.  I just called 
him, and he said that it works fine except that the user enrollment GUI 
doesn't work right so that has to be done from the command line.
