Spectrum Systems, Inc. announces
availability of a solution (based on our ALGOL conversion tool – ALTOS) that
efficiently addresses opening up ALGOL code, and helps Unisys clients to
gradually rely more on Forward! by Unisystm platform, or another Linux platform.
While working with large applications we often observed that though legacy ALGOL
- based systems work fine, they are quite difficult to expand or modify. On the
one hand, short supply of ALGOL expertise makes it difficult to make changes in
ALGOL code. On the other hand, big differences between programming conventions
and platform specifics make it difficult to develop new functionality in
C/C++/Java and integrate it with ALGOL programs.
The same problems make it difficult to migrate applications
components from MCP to Linux/Windows on Forward! by Unisystm platform, or to
other platforms.
Spectrum's ALTOS - based solution allows to automatically replace any selected
procedure in ALGOL program with a harness for invocation of a C++ or Java
program that substitutes/modifies that ALGOL procedure’s functionality. The tool
provides for automatic parameters and return values transformation, and a
mechanism for data exchange. ALTOS automatically generates C++ program that is
functionally equivalent to the procedure in ALGOL source. This program may be
used as-is, or serve C++/Java developers as a reference for further
modifications. ALTOS generates C++ code that is efficient, easy to read, and
preserves in C++ code all original comments, names, and data flows from the
ALGOL source program.
