Has anyone ever tried this?  With either target (Java/Ada95)?
If not, send me a small sample of C++ and I'll try it and send you the
results.  Then you can judge the quality for yourself.  :-)
(SMALL sample, please.  I can't do it on company time!)

Rose 3.0.5 BETA allegedly supports Ada 95.  That is what I will use if
someone requests a conversion experiment.

Apex 2.2 available now will analyze Ada 95 source (in Apex, "analyze"
means semantic and dependency analysis and generate DIANA) but the
code generator for it is not supposed to be available until 2.4
which I _heard_ was due in March.

Any Rational folks listening, please correct any misinformation above.
