I just finished a conversion - a Baby/36 on win server to a new i5.
The biggest time spent was the dfu problem.
I thought I remembered seeing ads for such a tool, but
cannot find anything yet.

<<< Any known tools that can read S36 DFU source and either generate a S36EE or native dfu (Enter, Update, Inquiry, List) or generate RPG/DDS ? >>>

"Back in the day..."

I had to recreate DFUs from scratch on a System/34 to System/36 migration in 1986. Unlucky for me, there was an option you purposely had to take exiting your System/34 DFU creation in order to save the source. There was no original source so I had to create anew. On the System/36 I would edit my DFU source to make the screens look better than the default (caps, spacing). It was quite sad to see how folks did a quick and dirty DFU rather than write a proper RPG program.

You may have to create your own. I just had to take that walk back on memory lane. Carry on.
