Subject:      Replace SAS with another language
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed

I know someone whose company is considering replacing two to three hundred
thousand lines of SAS code in Base, Stat, a little IML, and lots of macro to
some other language. Part of this project would include developing tools to
"compile" the SAS code into some other language. This is motivated by the
desire to avoid the SAS licensing fees. How big a project do you think this
is? Is it doable? The company may be willing to spen a couple million
dollars on the project. What do you think?
