Microsoft does not make any PL/M conversion programs or utilities, nor
do we know of any products for converting PL/M to C or MASM code that
are explicitly compatible with Windows development. There are,
however, several third-party vendor products (seen on a December 1988
bulletin board).

Microsoft has not tested these products, and therefore, we make no
guarantees about them. You may want to contact the respective vendors
for more information.

Another less convenient possibility is to use CodeView (CV) to view
the assembly code from the PL/M .EXE files. CV may be able to detect
PUBLIC symbols, such as _main in Microsoft C or Pascal, which would
allow you to skip start-up code and perhaps to keep track of where you
are in your code. This will not result in complete or correct
assembler, but it may ease the conversion process.

You can use PRINT SCREEN to print the assembly code in 17 line blocks.
Or you can invoke CodeView in sequential mode (/t), redirect to a
file, and unassemble (U). For details, query on the following words:
