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. > What are your experiences? > And your thoughts? 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. Best Regards, U.
