Hello all,


There is a computer language that has been dead for over a decade.
However, there are numerous programs that have been built using this
dead language.


Now my "pending task" will be to make a translator that converts this
dead language to an object-oriented language like java.


What I have is very minimal. No compiler for the dead language, no
text books, only one reference manual and hundreds of program codes
that used the dead language.


Do you think it's possible to build a translator with such minimal
resources? And could you give me some pointers on how to start
building a translator?


Any help would be appreciated.
