hi experts
i am having trouble converting screens from windows to Linux.
I have done this before with SCO with out problems.
any advise would be appreciated.
my standard procedure is listed below
old tony

my working procedure, except now for screens:
        use vi macro's whenever possible
1. create file using filepro for each file name I am going to convert.
2. go into each file name directory and copy the map file to amap
3. remove all other file names in the directory
4. cp the windows files to the new directory in linux
5. rename all files to the same file name but all in lower case.
6. change any trailing brw, sel, out & prc to the front as in report1.out to 
out.report
7. change ownership of all files to filepro
8. edit map using the first line of amap (see line 2) but change the 
:##:##:##: to match the original map
9.edit screen by simple opening them & saving them. This now fails.
