PL/I was much more fun to write than Fortran 66 or even Fortran 77. Most C statements should translate fairly easy into PL/I, such that you could almost do it statement by statement. Not having actually looked at the code recently, it might be that it could be done using an automated system of some kind, possibly even written with flex and yacc (or bison). -- glen
