  That transition requires a *migration* to the S/36EE, and therefore 
may be far from being able to "run them as it is until we convert".  The 
migration itself, is already going to be a conversion.  This type of 
migration is almost never simply a restore-and-run.  Maybe I have 
mis-inferred, but the quoted reply seems to presume that the current 
environment will just restore-and-run, almost as if the expectation is 
that the *M36 itself could be moved to the new hardware and OS, even 
though several other replies have stressed otherwise.?
