Hi Clem,

Replying to a message of Clem Clarke to All:

Does it convert HLASM source to MASM? From our earlier, private correspondence 
(about 2 years ago?) I would guess it produces TASM source.

How do you handle system macro conversions? For example, does your converter 
take, say, a TIME macro and convert it into a DosGetDateTime() call? Do you use 
a TIME macro instead that expands to the appropriate API call? What if I use 
SVC 11 directly? ... :-) [I don't use SVC 11 in open code, BTW.]

The BIGGY: what about QSAM macros?

If this is really fully featured then it is a fascinating product.

Regards
