James,
  The best source of material that I know of in this area is
the software productivity institute.  You can access their
language-level material at the URL

<A HREF="http://www.spr.com/">
Capers Jones Software Productivity Research</A> in Massessusetts<BR>
<A HREF="http://www.spr.com/library/langtbl.htm">
SPR's Language Level List</A> shows relationships between function-points and lines-of-code<BR>


This maps at the *source* level, but I think thye also have
similar data at the *object* level.  I was told that there
are agreements you need to make with them to provide them with
data which you measure in order to get shared data from them;
but I don't know that for a fact.

Best, ..Paul
