NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS.

these files will be needed.
4. Convert the SYSGEN configuration files using the command file
IOCNVRT.
:IOCNVRT CONFG995,CONFG997
where your current 995 SYSGEN configuration files are located in the
group CONFG995.SYS and the new 997 SYSGEN configuration files
will be placed in the group CONFG997.SYS.
5. Convert the file NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS using the tool JADETOOL.
:RUN JADETOOL

links.
