David,
I do not know of any way to read/write vtf files or account saves or file
saves between mvBase and Universe.
We do have a tool that will convert D3 account saves so they can be restored
by Universe - if you can get your mvBase account save restored to a D3
machine.
<AD>
We developed the FileCaddy programs, T-DUMP and T-LOAD, to t-dump all files
and dicts in an account to tape and t-load each file to an account, creating
the file before it loads if it does not exist.
It requires the use of a tape medium that can be read by both databases.
It is limited to file names that do not exceed approx. 25 characters,
because we carry the file name and file stats in the tape label of each
t-dump. We use Accuterm to move files with names longer than approx. 25
chars.
It is certified to move data from A/P, D3, mvBase, R91 (on a C.Itoh
machine), Universe, Unidata to mvBase, Universe, Unidata.
We offer the FileCaddy programs at no additional charge with the purchase of
SpoolerPlus, our generic Pick print spooler for Universe and Unidata, or if
we provide database conversion services.
Please call me if you'd like to explore this further.

Subject: Re[2]: [U2] access to mvBase VTF files
Tony,
My higher goal is to move data from mvBase to uniVerse. Account save /
account restore
What I want is information on if this can be done simply.
I can, as ray suggested, read the tape OR i can simply stream in the
file
and try to restore on my own.
Thanks
