Jose,

See my first post about the transfer, but after you do transfer, 
remember anything in a script must now be rewritten
to windows commands.

If your command line on the menu says:

/fp/dreport

Or most /fp/  stuff, you are ok.

/fp/ddir is now /fp/dprodir

Scripts that said:

$PFPROG/fp/dreport must be changed to %PFPROG%/fp/dreport (forward 
slashes still work here - mostly)

You will have to be sure the environment is set before loading filePro 
to make sure these variables are assigned.

I have transfered many, many systems from and to Windows - I hate the 
Unix to Windows the most because it is more restrictive and may require 
some new programming changes to accommodate the new environment.

Good luck.
Nancy
