My government agency (the social security administration) runs a small
social security system here on Saipan in the Northern Mariana Islands.
Currently, we use a now-ancient IBM System/23 (8085 processor, 64K RAM,
30 MB fixed disk) to do all of our data processing, including maintaining
earnings and benefit records, printing monthly benefit checks, etc.

As we have a rather yM/#d5-"|`Rur}D large investment in code
development and data input, we do not want to abandon our system.
However, we are being eased in to using AT type machines>

Question: does anyone know how we can port our code and data from the
S/23 environment to the MS-DOS environment?  Several years ago there were
some vendors who offered both hardware and software solutions to our
problem.  However, they no longer seem to be in business.  (Note, all
our code is written in S/23 BASIC.)

Any and all replies would be greatfully appreciated.
