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
