Does anybody have a good way (or even a bad way) to port application programs from an IBM Series/1 EDX system to UNIX Sys V rel 2? The programming language should be fairly portable, but the EDL might be awkward to convert.

One (perhaps bizarre) solution might be to write an EDX emulator for UNIX. EDL is a fairly simple-minded language, so it shouldn't be too difficult. Another alternative, since EDL was orignally implemented through a set of macros, would be to replace the macros with ones that generate C code, and run your EDL source through the Series/1 assembler. This is probably a bit easier than my first suggestion, and has the advantage of not having to run interpretively on the target system. -- Bill Michaelson - uh... princeton!mccc!cosi!bill, I think. also at...
