My question would be whether we can leverage our knowledge of NOMAD
in the downsizing process. Would it have been easier going with an
entirely new product? Granted that the conversion is non-trivial, but
what portion of the mainframe code needs to be rewritten?

I understand that the Thomson Consulting group has a tool called the
RESIZER that will evaluate mainframe code and assign 5 levels of
severity for incompatible code and will let you estimate the effort
required to convert.

Thanks for the tip about the  "Nomad for UNIX Conversion Reference
Manual".
