Steve, I did a port of a large graphics program from MCL to ACL. It was painful because the paradigms are so different. I ended up writing a lot of MCL emulation functions in ACL. Unfortunately, it's not a cleanly separated package; I'd have to go in a pick out the individual functions. Also, it's specific to my application. If you're interested, I could send you some examples. Beyond that, I don't have much incentive to create an MCL to ACL portability package. You may be best off doing what I did and tailoring it to your application. ***************************************************************************** Gregory C.
