Migrating to Microsoft and Other Stories

MIGRATING TO MICROSOFT

Pressures too great and you need to move to Microsoft anyway? This range of migration tools can make your move simple, easy and cost-effective.

Document Conversion

Do you need to convert documents from Uniplex to Word, without loss of formatting and extensive re-keying? Then TUDOR is the answer.

Written by one of the original developers of Uniplex, TUDOR provides the highest quality conversion of Uniplex documents to a PC format.

Look at what it knows about Uniplex:
* Multi-columns
* Boxed tables
* Print Styles
* Printer definitions
* Fonts and Print Effects
* Line Draw

TUDOR can run on your Unix machine or Windows 95 & NT. Facilities include single file conversion or full batch conversion.

This product is far superior to any generic convertors you may have seen. TUDOR is in use around the world within major corporates and government agencies, but suitable for any size organisation.

Uniplex to HTML

Want to move your legacy documents an Intranet? Want to put your live Uniplex documents on the Internet?

TUDOR now supports output to HTML as well as RTF. Including TUDOR's famous table and column support.

Now, we freely admit that HTML has even less document structure than Uniplex, so formatting is very often at the control of the reader's browser. But, nevertheless we think you'll be impressed by the quality of our HTML conversions.

Spreadsheet Conversion

Need to transfer Ucalc save files to MS-Excel or 1-2-3? Our spreadsheet convertor will convert your spreadsheets including data, calculations and formatting.

Why use a convertor?

Because you can't afford the risk of mis-keying numbers or formulae's when re-creating a spreadsheet.

Uniplex Mail to Exchange

We can provide both co-existence and migration tools. The Office 2000 MIME Gateway allows Exchange and Uniplex to communicate with each other, properly handling attachments and addressing.

Alternatively MEXICO can handle bulk transfers of your Uniplex mailboxes directly to Exchange - and still supporting all the mail details, such as read status and dates.

Database Conversions

We can provide you a full service for database conversion, on-site or by mail. We can convert your Uniplex database to nearly any PC format and return to you on CD or tape.

If you have Uniplex applications then we can also provide a full programming service to re-create those applications in your target system.

PC to Unix Connection

PC-Enterprise lets you access the Unix system as though it is a local PC disk drive. Very powerful but very simple to use. Also includes Eudora Mail and PowerTerm terminal emulation.

PC-Enterprise also supports printing to Unix printers, simplifying print setup and reducing printer costs.

NT to Unix Connection

Omni-NFS provides a unique NFS solution for NT to UNIX connectivity. Once your NT server is connected all remote PC's can access Unix.
