I'm interested to know if anyone has had experience of or even attempted to convert ProIV to COBOL. Does anybody know of anyone who produces any tools to assist in such a conversion?

Hi Marc,
The only Pro-IV conversion software I have heard about is a conversion to PowerBuilder. This was developed by Sushal Gar's (May have got the spelling of his name wrong) team, the original developer of Pro-IV. I understand though that you still needed to engage his consulting services as well as the conversion is not totally automated. I don't know if he is still doing this or if it was one of his development whims.

Must admit that was pretty much my reaction - what possible cost-effective reason could you have for doing that??
I'd be amazed if anyone's ever written such a converter, even as a purely intellectual exercise

Stephen,
You may be correct about the physical universe, but the software universe allows for a decrease in entropy - analogous to an increase in crapness - without any disatrous consequences. In fact some very large companies make very large amounts of money by exploiting this loophole in the laws of software physics.
Yours
Roger
