[COFF] machine code translation, as mental architecture models

[Aron Insinga]

Back to topic of machine code translation, I stumbled over this paper 
describing DEC's migration from VAX (VMS) or MIPS (Ultrix) to Alpha (VMS 
or OSF/1, respectively) for user-mode applications.  The paper states 
that this included hand-coded assembly language applications.
