We are in the middle of moving from 1.2 to 2.2 (we have extra disk space).
We also run UREP.  At the same tiem that we are doing the ULTRIX upgrade
we are upgrading from UREP 2.0 to 3.2.  If you find anything out, I
would like a copy.  I just joined the list recently.  From the people I
talked to, they said don't go from 1.2 to 2.0 (this was two months ago)
because going from 2.0 to 2.2 is as difficult as going from 1.2 to 2.2.
Talk to Mike Petry if you want the specific information.
