Why bother going from MUMPS to C? MUMPS is faster than most other database access methods. The major problem with code translators is that the code they usually generate is not very supportable and nearly impossible to modify. It would be far better to embark on a modernization program for the existing code that was written to the old architecture constraints that are no longer issues. This will buy us better modularity, interoperability, and better code reuse as well as increased execution speed and smaller symbol tables. Big job? Yes, but it also will have big payoffs.
