I agree with what Jerry said.  In addition to his points, consider that 
changing the operating system means that you have to worry about any 
application code that launches operating system commands.  You'll have to 
locate and change those.  Maybe you'll be lucky, but it's a rare 
application that doesn't shell out to do something.

Also, although UniVerse is rather forgiving about VOC pointers that use 
forward slashes rather than backward slashes, you'll have to be careful 
about making sure everything is installed on your Windows drive exactly 
the way it's installed on SCO, with paths relative to the current drive. 
And don't forget to check for application code that constructs file paths. 
 Maybe there aren't any, but you need to be certain.

There may be good reasons for switching to Windows, but it's not a 
decision that should be taken lightly.
