Does anybody have any information on a PLM to C translator?

Microprocessor Services, Inc., 516-499-4461 advertises such a thing.
$500 or so (PL/M can be -80,-51 or -86). That's all I know.

That's all I know. I attended a talk at the West Coast Computer Faire in maybe 1984 about the expeiriences some people at Zilog had porting CP/M to the Z8000. Most of the CP/M utilitites were written in PL/M, and they needed to be translated to C. The question was whether to write a translator program, or do it by hand. They decided to do it by hand, because they felt a literal translation wouldn't catch intent very well. Since it would need to be checked line by line anyway, they thought doing it by hand with the help of sed was a better idea. Of course, for 500 shekels, if it saves you a few days on hand translating by working better than sed, you are still ahead. Your mileage may vary. -dB
