Subject: [jdjlist] Automated Cobol to Java Conversion

If your friend isn't satisfied with the 2 solutions suggested by now (:
http://legacy2web.com and Fujitsu) :
Try to find a Cobol->C converter ; it should be available easily and even
free of charge - f_to_c.exe ["Fortran to C"] once was -
and do the C to Java transition manually (e.g. with the "replace" IDE
command) or with an additional tool (from the web or written by yourself)

example :

#include "math.h"
...sin()...

in the generated C-sourcecode becomes

import java.lang.Math;
...Math.sin()...

in Java.

I once started to write a Basic->C converter on my own. Before it was ready
I realized that it would have been easier and faster to do the complete
conversion
manually even with multiple programs/projects involved.
