Moving from VMS to UNIX

We currently are running several versions of Oracle on our VAX/VMS system and recently decided to move Oracle to a Sun 690 running SunOS 4.1.2. After paying for the conversion, we are now trying to determine the easiest way to move all of our VMS databases and supporting files (SQL*Forms, SQL*Menu, etc) to the UNIX environment.
I have created a database on the UNIX machine, exported the database on the
VAX system and tried to import the data on the UNIX server. If I create the
tablespaces to be the same size (I think that I am doing that, but I am
not sure
since I have no Oracle, SQL or related training) and try to import the
data,
I get tablespace too small errors. After increasing the tablespace, I
can
get the database to load (I think).
Next, when I try to run the SQL*Menu applications, they are still pointing to the datafiles on the VAX.
At this point I am lost on how to get the applications to work on the UNIX server.
Any suggestions or places I can look for instructions would be appreciated.
