Does anyone have a program to convert COBOL to C ? I have a friend who has a significant number of COBOL programs he wishes to convert, but would take forever to do manually. Must be MS-DOS based. Please e-mail any suggestions. Thanks in advance! Tom Price tep@mitre-omaha.arpa

The MicroFocus COBOL compiler (1/2 :-)). It translates the COBOL program
into a gigantic C program, which is then passed thru' the Microsoft C
compiler.
I suppose its intermediate output could be preserved as a translation, but
it's probably one you'd never want to maintain in your lifetime..
Oh yes, Microfocus COBOL runs on a PC.
