4D Mac-to-Windows Guide?

Folks:

    Some years ago I remember seeing a list or outline of recommended steps
for converting a 4D database from Mac-specific to cross-platform. I¹ve now
been tasked with rolling out Windows clients for a mature (15+ years old!)
Mac client-server app. (The server will remain on an Xserve.)

    I¹ve known for a long time that this might happen, so I¹ve added in some
of the obvious things as I went along: testing the platform on startup,
loading the appropriate directory separator into a variable and using that
in paths, etc. I know some of the adjustments that I¹ll have to make (e.g.,
where documents get saved) and that I¹m in for lots of fun updating and/or
duplicating forms so they¹ll look right on Windows, but I¹m looking for
guidance to avoid the pitfalls I *don¹t* see coming.

    So if you remember the list that I vaguely recall, or if you can point
me to some other helpful resources, I'd appreciate it.

    Thanks in advance,

    -- MLJ


    P.S.: I've been a Mac partisan since 1984, and only use Windows when I'm
forced to. However, I do have access to lots of folks who are Windows-savvy
in case I get completely lost, so I'm not too worried. :)
