Need help going from power pc to newer computer!
I have a Unix server running on a powerPC dating back to 2000. I need to change the computer to something newer. I also need to keep running Unix as the OS in order to run the Medical monitoring software we have. Is there a way to do this? I have the IBM AIX-Unix running a Multiview Workstation program from Siemens. I believe the Unix I use currently is configured for the PowerPC, So I think I can't reload it on a newer conputer. So basically, can anyone help me figure out if I can get another PC and install a Unix OS on it?
Hopefully, I could then just install the Multiview program I have.
Thanks for any help in pointing me in the right direction.

Hi,
I have the following question :
As far as I know unix doesn't store file creation dates.
Would that imply the following?
tar -cvzf backup.tar --newer
is equal to:
tar -cvzf backup.tar --newer-mtime ? (1 Reply)
