I have good news for you and bad news.  The good news is the utility to
do it is free (in fact I have included it in this posting); the bad
news is that you probably won't want to run it even though it can
produce the best possible conversion under the circumstances.  (I speak
from experience, I replaced an online system of over 200,000 lines of
assembly with a newer system programmed in C++).  To use this
conversion script just type asm2cpp <filename>  (no extension).

The source to asm2cpp.bat follows:

___________________________

del %1.asm
edit %1.cpp
____________________________

I will leave the unix port as an exercise for the reader.

Good luck,

George
