Thing is, I don't want to migrate all of the software (3rd party) Oracle,
Cobol and there hooks ....etc over because they are being replaced or
obsolete. It would be a lot cleaner in my opinion to build the Regatta (Aix
5L) with the Aix 4.3 parts that I need which basically are users (/home) ,
queues, /usr/local, and various other scripts and hooks I have created.
