TRANSLATOR is a tool for translating from Zetalisp to Common Lisp
     and from Flavors to CLOS.  It is intended to ease the translation
     process, not to do all of it.  There is still some redesign
     involved in porting a program, like the access to strings and the
     handling of errors.  The translator does understand the #/ macro so
     there is no need to convert character constants.  The single escape
     character, /, is also understood and translated.  Other read
     constants, such as complex numbers, must be converted manually
     before translating the file or form.

     It may be used either on an entire file or on a form from inside
     Zmacs.  An entire file can be translated by issuing the command

     (TRANSL:TRANSLATE-FILE <input-file> <output-file> <trace> <new-base>).
   
     If <trace> is T then a trace of the translation will be printed on
     *standard-output*.  <new-base> can be set to be the print base in
     which all numbers in the code will be printed.  It is advised to
     also set *PRINT-RADIX* to T so all numbers in the translated code
     will be printed with the proper base identifier. 

     All of the files in a system can be translated by the command:
     (TRANSL:TRANSLATE-SYSTEM <system-name> <output-directory>
			      &key :trace :base :case)

     The key chord HYPER-T is added to ZMACS when the TRANSLATOR system
     is made.  While in an edit buffer with the cursor at the beginning
     of a form, pressing HYPER-T will cause the form to be translated.
     You are prompted to approve the translation.  If you say yes, the
     translated form will replace the original one.

     The command HYPER-SUPER-T will also attempt to translate back-quote
     forms that construct code.  This is not normally done except in the
     body of DEFMACRO forms.

     The translator does not preserve the case or format of the source.
     This is disturbing to some people.  You can, however, set
     *PRINT-CASE* to :DOWNCASE, :UPCASE, or :CAPITALIZE and all of the
     code will be in the selected case.  If you want your code to
     preserve the look it presently has, use the translator to identify
     what needs to be modified and then do the modifications manually.
