Personally when I do the convert to free-form I always change
unconverted opcodes MOVE,etc by hand. It's not that a tool is a bad
thing...it's just if it screws something up I have no one to blame but
me =D
Thanks,

Subject: Re: [WDSCI-L] Convert selection to free-form
Some opcodes, such MOVE, MOVEL
Does anyone have suggestion on tools to
convert code with these statements?
It's a controversial stance, but I strongly oppose using a tool for
this. Unless you have a very complete understanding of the side effects
of each of your MOVE statements, i.e. source and target sizes and types,
the automation of MOVE to EVAL could prove an unpleasant learning
experience.
If you must convert MOVE to free form, consider doing it by hand. In my
opinion, automatically converted code is just as ugly as fixed-form code
jammed into the middle of free format. Others don't share that opinion,
which is probably a good thing.
