:Ah, but I was referring (without regard to the source) to the part about
:the "perfectly readable ... C/C++ code".
:

Well apart from the problem with meaningful variable names (aren't they
limited to 8 characters ) it should be possible to convert CMS-2 to just
about any block structured sequential execution language (providing the
original CMS-2 was well structured).  Of course, you're not likely to
get any classes....

Now where's that pascal compiler gone :-).

Later,
