[comp.sources.wanted] Vax to Pyramid source translators - c, assem, whatever

eer@ritcv.UUCP (Ed Reed) (11/07/86)

I'm looking for programs to assist in porting other programs from
Vax/Unix (UCB4.3, etc) to Pyramid machines.  Specifically, 
programs that could be run on assembler output by language
compilers to create Pyramid compilable code.  

To see what I'm trying to do, consider Franz Lisp,
for instance:  Code generation available for MC68000 and vax, generates
berkley assembler code, which is then assembled.  Would like to take
the vax assembler code and make Pyramid assembler code.  Any ideas?

One obvious solution, is a macro package that will mangle vax
assembler (of the ucb 4.3 variety) into pyramid assembler.  A more
elegant solution would be to go from vax assembler to c, pascal,
or some other portable higher level language.

What's been done?  Any variations on this theme that I could work
from?

I'm NOT looking for disassemblers, but possibly uncompilers (to
c, again) might help.  I've looked in the Decus abstracts and have
not found anything looking promising, yet.

Your help is earnestly solicited.  I don't think it's an impossible
task, I just don't want to spend a lot of time doing it if it's
already been done before!
