Steve Heffner of Pennington Systems in Pennington, New Jersey, routinely
translates a number of minicomputer assembly languages into C. We are
developing a hamster that translates a MS-DOS .EXE file into C. The result
of these exercises isn't particularly pretty but it is C and it is
functionally equivalent to the input and it does port and that is the main
goal. Whether it is or is not easier to understand that the input is very
problematic. (In the latter case, this means just a raw disassembly.)
Cheers, Scott
