Why converting or "migrating" from your Wang VS is a really, really bad idea
If you are considering or involved in a conversion or "migration" from Wang VS to some other platform, you really should read this. Conversions entail considerable cost, usually lengthy time frames, inevitable differences in user interface, unintentional changes in business logic, and risk. Not all conversions succeed. But even if yours doesn't crash and burn, the most common refrain heard in user cubicles after a conversion from Wang VS is, "Oh, this is nowhere near as good as the Wang." The users always know, even if the suits drink the Kool-Aid of imagined conversion success.
There is nothing that can compare to zero conversion that comes from 100% binary compatibility, and there are no other companies that can offer 100% compatibility.
Transvirtual Systems, home of the New VS™, the only 100% binary compatible solution
This is the only 100% binary compatible solution on the market. A joint effort of TransVirtual Systems and Getronics (the successor to Wang), it IPLs and runs the VS OS and all VS software.
Lightspeed NVS, the standard for PC-VS connectivity
Throughout the 1990s, Lightspeed NVS became the standard for connecting PCs to Wang VS systems for logon service and file transfer. In 2004 the Lightspeed NVS product line was acquired by TransVirtual Systems and established in Texas as Lightspeed NVS, the company, providing software and support for connectivity for existing legacy VS systems and the New VS.
The Unofficial Wang VS Information Center, the place to go for Wang VS information since 1995
The Unofficial site was established in September of 1995 to provide information about Wang VS systems to the VS community to fill a vacuum left by Wang Laboratories. It quickly established itself as the most complete and authoritative source of Wang VS information on the Internet.
VS WebCenter, the official Wang VS site
The VS WebCenter provides official information, including Y2K compliance by product and the latest software version numbers.
