As always, it depends on:

1. How large is the application (how many programs,ocl,etc,etc)
2. RPG will convert with a little grunting but not much hassle.
3. OCL will be the biggest problem, but it can be done by somebody
   who knows both....
4. I make a "LOT" of assumptions about what languages and typical
   S/36 applications... If "canned" software, a whole nuther set of
   problems.
5. Short answer(yes) but it depends on who is doing it.
