Abstract
A first high-level language source program for a computer of a first architecture is compiled, thereby producing a machine program for a computer of a second architecture. The machine program is decompiled, thereby producing a second high-level language source program which does not depend on any architecture. The second high-level language source program is compiled and linked, thereby producing a first executable load module. Thus, the architecture of the program is converted, and the operation of the machine program is debugged by executing the first executable load module.
