I did that once many many years ago for a client and I really don't remember the exact details. Someone else might be able to fill this in a little better.

This is what I want to say is the process, but It may not be accurate, you may have to experiment a little.

You will not be able to jump directly to 2015. If I recall correctly you have to go to 3.5(?), then to 3.71 (definitely) and from there you can jump to a 4.x version then to 5.2 (2015). You might be able to jump from 3.71 to 5.2 directly but I have never tried it. One way or another it is going to be a bit of work.

1. Copy the files from unix server to a windows server.
2. Install MAS 90 as a fresh copy and set up.
3. Copy the company data files into the new install and convert.

All forms will have to be recreated from scratch.

Thank you so much for the prompt reply.
I was hoping not to perform multiple migrations but I guess there's no way around it.
Don't I have to convert the unix data files somehow in order to get them to a windows os?
I've never worked on a unix system before so this is all new to me.

You are in about the same mode I was when I did this years ago. I really knew nothing about unix, but luckily I had someone who could help me out. Please remember, that I am going off the top of my head and it was a long time ago, so I may not have this all correct.

What I recall is that the company data files internally were essentially the same as in a windows environment. The big trick was getting the files copied off of the unix server to the windows server. Seems to me like somehow we managed to map a drive to the unix server.

If you have someone you can use as a unix resource that would be good. I would assume your client has someone that is helping them with unix.

If you can't find someone in that respect to help you, I MIGHT have someone who can help.

Thank you so much Tom. This does help. I was a little concerned about whether or not anything needed to be converted and it sounds like it doesn't, I just need to figure out a way to move the files.
