Probably not worth the time/payback as a translation tool but how about as part of a version control system? VC systems almost always have a function that will list the differences between two versions of code, but it's hard to that with LC since everything is buried in the stack file. If there was a way to export a stack file to some sort of text format, comparisons become possible, not only for scripts but for objects added/deleted/changed/etc. Pete
