[comp.lang.c] Dibol to C translator

wschwarz@bigbang.UUCP (01/25/87)

HELP!  Does anyone know of a software product that will convert DEC
Dibol code into "C"?  A friend of mine had told me that he knew of a
product that would do this, but he did not know the name of the product,
the company or anything else.  If anyone out here knows anything about it,
PLEASE send mail to me at 'bigbang!unimail!admin!wschwarz' or to
'bigbang!unimail!pcp!wally'.  

I am trying to convert all of my Dibol code to C for a couple of
reasons.  To get Dibol to run on an IBM PC, you need to use DBL from Disc.
DBL is a superset of Dibol, with a few major problems.  There is a
general lack of support from the company.  Major bugs in the runtime
library were ignored for months.  The compiler, linker, and run-time
libraries are all *COPY PROTECTED*.  So whenever I reorganize my hard
disk, or do a backup, I lose the copy protection!  (Why do companies
copy protect their compilers??)  So the sooner that I can get my
Dibol into C the better for me.  It will also force me to learn the C
langugage a bit sooner!  Thanks...Wally
