5 or SCO UnixWare 2.1 operating system may, with some modification, be used on the new system.

The upgrade process entails saving configuration files and other important data (such as user names and associated passwords and groups) to media, from which they can be restored and modified to work on the UnixWare 7 system.

For some data, such as password files and Domain Name Service (DNS) files, the files will work as they did on your old operating system.
