RE: Mass conversion of MOVE to EVAL.

["Joe Pluta" <joepluta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The best way would be to create a program that goes through the compiler
listing, generates the field types and lengths for each field, and then
checks the MOVEs.  MOVE from one field to another of the same type and
length could be switched, and other MOVEs could be flagged.

The hard part would be fixing the non-standard moves.  But I'd be
interested to see the percentage of "standard" vs. "non-standard" moves.
