The only way I know to go from C to Ada is to call up Lexeme. They claim to do such translation as a service.. for big bucks. They claim 100% translation. The supposedly use AI techniques to do the translation. The will translate from Fortran, Cobol, PL/1, and Basic (!) to C and Ada. I seem to remember that the charge something like $2 per line!! I suppose this might be cost effective if you had a large system to convert and the only other option is re-writing it from scratch. They were written up in the September 23, 1985 issue of ELECTRONICS (with rave reviews). Their address is: LEXEME CORPORATION Suite 250, Commerce Court Four Station Square Pittsburgh, PA 15219-1119 Good luck, Mike Linnig, Texas Instruments
