In fact, the only binary files that ARE a problem are the forms and the
dialogs. I would assume that both are relatively straightforward, but I
haven't tried picking one apart to figure it out.

I used to work on HP-3000s in HP BASIC, COBOL, and FORTRAN.
What a pain in the you know what!

I too have spent way too much of my life in HP BASIC. IIRC, it is tokenized
before storing (around here called byte codes). One approach might be to figure
a way to get at the HPB tokens and emulate each of them in LC. Also IIRC HPB
uses a pretty simple symbol table for variables and such.

Hi Mike,
It sounds like a lot of work however you do it.
Is creating an emulator really going to be easier
than doing a whole system migration to LiveCode
or some other language?
Good luck with whatever you do!

Someone wrote an emulator using Xojo.

Perhaps an emulator would also be possible in LiveCode.

Anyone write an emulator in LC? I've got an old ERP system that we own all
the source to. I'd like to. The environment is interpreted, so if I could
make an emulator/wrapper, I could in theory move the whole thing into LC
and dump the old environments.
