Atomic,
Download the alpha DS2 mudlib from here:

The Praxis I mention is actually Praxis from Nightmare 3. You'll
see it included in DS2 alpha. It's been converted to work with DS2.
DS2 alpha has enabled by default some backward-compatibility
headers which facilitate importing old-school code with minimal
pain.
There are also lsed scripts in /secure/scripts to facilitate the
mass conversion of old school code into DS2 compliant code.
Type: help lsed

None of this is "fire and forget" stuff. You still need to put in
many hours of labor. But these tools should help limit the unpleasantness.
I should mention that while NMIV code will almost certainly
need *some* changes to work (for example ARMOUR->ARMOR), it's
really not that different from DS2, functionally, so you shouldn't run into
showstoppers.
