Any tool to convert TAL programs to Java

[SailajaVenkat]

Hello all,

Is there any easy way to convert TAL programs to Java? Any tool?

Only the simplest TAL programs would be good candidates to convert to Java.    Most complex TAL programs,  those using multithreads,  SPI,  server type programs,  embedded SQL,  would need to be completely restructured to convert to Java.   Originally,  NonStop OS was written in TAL, but later stuff was written in c.   c is a better replacement for TAL, in my opinion.  In our installation,  the small amount of TAL code is pretty static, and there doesn't seem to be a justification to convert.   

For utility type TAL code,  where are lots of commercial replacement tools,  and some free ware.
