The arev64 10.0 Quick Start Guide appears to me to be about converting from an AREV DOS.

I have an OI 9.4-based AREV32 that I want to convert to the OI 10.1 that I have already migrated.

That is, I already have in OI 10.1 all that OI side migrated. The dictionaries were converted to no "dots" years ago.

Please suggest how I copy/migrate the AREV32 code to AREV64.

Hi Dave,

The Arev structures are unchanged in Arev64,

I think the steps are:

Copy in the rows from your 9.4 WINDOWS. MENUS, POPUPS, SOURCE.

Copy in VOC without overwriting, That will merge in the rows unique to you.

Attach any BP_xxx tables with source in them,

Make sure that the data tables have CTODICT.MFS on them.

Recompile your programs.

Rebuild your btree indexes

Extra Credit: Use the opportunity to run rti_RemakeTable(tablename) on your main tables.

Ok, on my own.

This system is over 28 years old and was started in Arev DOS version 2. There are no SOURCE or OBJECT tables, just a BP! I will be adding MD to the mix.
