Translation Systems??

[Gershon Shamay]

  Translation Systems is indeed a software house in Waltham. Quite small
(about 10 people currently). They have a set of compilers based on
a nice idea: separate front-ends generate common intermediate code.
A global (presumably good) optimizer works on this code and produces
optimized stuff. Then, a machine-specific code generator does the rest.
  The set of languages include full PL/1, subset G of PL/1, C, F77,
Basic, RPG-II, Pascal and Cobol.
  Almost all the stuff is written in PL/1 and the first step in porting
to a new machine is to re-host the PL/1 itself.
  Some of their stuff (or derivatives thereof) run on a number of machines,
including Stratus.
