abstract = {Billions of lines of code that have been written in Cobol,
PL/I, and other old programming languages are still in
active use. Many commercial efforts to convert these to
more modern languages have begun, but few have succeeded.
These authors discuss the nuts and bolts of conversion
between several pairs of languages and some of the
possibilities and limitations of automating language
conversion. },
