These recent comments show how old some of us are. Twenty years ago I
was introduced to Prime and Armstrong Basic and Information. This was a
migration and we did it with flat files in two 80+ hour work weeks. I
recently did 2 migrations from Mentor to UniVerse where media
compatibility was a problem so the answer was ftp flat files. After 29
years in this industry, the problems and answers always seem to be about
the same, sometimes with a new technology twist.

I concur with Larry - not an easy migration at all.
Secondly - Thanks Larry - BP99 from Chuck Armstrong!
Bill Coffing was the Prime rep out of greater Chicago area who
was Prime's main technical guru on converting various
Business BASIC applications to BP99.

All in all, I don't think there's a big market for Business Basic to U2
conversions. Especially since most of the modern Business Basics have
full
GUI and OO capabilities built in, albeit implemented in slightly different
ways.
On another note: someone earlier mentioned a Business Basic interpreter
that ran on the Prime. The name of the product was BP99, from Chuck
Armstrong (Armstrong System House).
