Just to add to Buck’s comments - Craig’s tools not include the F, D and P spec conversions.

The other tool he did not mention is Arcad’s - can’t recall the name. That one even converts GOTOs.

Btw, is there a way to convert H,F,D, specs to free format by highlighting
and right clicking?

Not from IBM. I posted a very ugly first cut at a plug-in that would do
that, but if you're new to RDi, I wouldn't consider trying to use that.

A coworker says it worked in previous releases but no long works in 9.5.
(He just downloaded 9.5 today)
It works with C specs but puts in /FREE and /END-FREE.

Yes, that is what comes with RDi. There's no support (yet) for H, F,
and D-specifications.

It also won't do *Entry Plist.

Yep. There are a bunch of operations the RDi function won't handle,
like MOVE and GOTO. I myself am OK with that; I don't want a tool to
convert a MOVE to an EVAL without a deep understanding of what the code
is /intended/ to do. Sometimes I want to truncate, sometimes it's an
error!

Having said that, there is at least one vendor of a tool which converts
more than RDi does - Linoma. Not a customer, so not familiar. Others
on the list have used it though. Also, Craig Rutledge has a tool in his
JCRCMDS for this: http://jcrcmds.com/index.html
